What is lecture capture?

Lecture capture is a live stream and recording to Panopto, our Lecture Capture system, which allows students to re-watch their classes after they've ended and watch from home in real-time if they're unable to make it to class.

This has proven highly effective in supporting students with learning differences and supporting students with English as a second language.

Pros

  • It helps students who are unwell, or have a disability to catch up with missed classes.
  • Students can rewatch key information.

Cons

  • If not used thoughtfully it can change the dynamic of the classroom conversation.

Key things to remember

  • You need to be wearing a microphone properly and avoid wearing loose items of clothing or jewllery near the mic.
  • Do not touch or hold the microphone as this will be recorded.
  • Make sure to manage what is displayed on the screen using the source controls.
  • Your laptop screen is recorded all the time the HDMI cabel is connected.
