Lecture Capture technology allows lecturers to record a lecture and provide this digital recording to students, usually through the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) Brightspace. Lecture Capture technology is also effective in a promotional capacity, recording and/or live streaming one-off guest and keynote lectures, career talks and high profile College events.
Benefits of recording lectures
- Closing the knowledge gap – Providing students with the ability to re-watch and reflect on a lecture helping them to identify and act upon knowledge gaps
- Catering to differing learning styles and abilities – Recording your teaching can support a range of different learning preferences and abilities such as students with English as a second language and students with hearing impairments
- Enabling broader approaches – Encourage independent and self-regulated learning by delivering some content prior to a lecture. This approach opens up the possibility of using contact time less for delivery of content, and more for increased peer interaction
- Supporting accessible content – Students can play, pause, rewind and review a recording, whilst engaging with the content on a range of desktop and mobile devices
- Flexible learning – On demand access to learning materials
- Analytics – Insight into how students are engaging with the recordings can help lecturers areas where students may be struggling
Example use cases for Lecture Capture include:
- Exam revision and assignment guidelines
- In class student group presentations
- Guest speakers / Keynote presentations
- Use as content for Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) for difficult concepts
- College of Business events such as online open days and orientation
