Summer Institute 2014 PIF reports small group: Room Modernization and Lecture Capture
From OUCEL Wiki
Nick, Windsor PIF - $350 thou
- Echo360 Lecture Capture
- What challenge was to be examined: Wanted to upgrade classrooms, and longstanding demand to capture everything in the classroom and for distance sections of the same course.
- 17 large lecture recording setups
- Scheduled software system
- On demand recording tool
- Adding a few camera, but a lot of VC rooms already
- Existing multi-campus/partner VC programs
- Not renewing a lot of classrooms into VC
- Echo360 comes with “Lecture Tools” with a software clicker solution
- Self-hosting the system
- Heat map on on video viewing stats - what section was most matched
Matt, Brock University
- Limited use of LC/VC and synchronous eLearning
- Matt just got placed on a room modernization committee and is curious about what others are doing
- Kaltura viewing stats - frequency and length
Andre, St. Paul
- 21/2 into Adobe Connect roll-out LC
- Initiative to phase instructors into blended deliveries and more online eLearning courses
- Small classes (20 or so)
- Mixed delivery program in Cannon Law
- Renewing the eLearning classes, learning lessons about camera placement (ie. students “fight” to get out of the pan of the classroom view camera)
- Training materials and sessions on system
- Challenges: capturing student audio in classroom (repeating questions, etc.)
- Looking at Bb/Adobe connect video stats and learning about student behaviour
Denis (Enterprise Application…. )& Tina (Learning Services) York,
- Moodle-based, large scale
- Concern about VC etc. and accessibility
Phil, Dawson College, Quebec - A Curious observer
Common challenges:
- Shifting medium of media (YouTube shown to students at distance though VC etc.)
- Costs of AODA/WCAG 2 caption requirements
- Managing Copyright information
