This document discusses lecture capture technologies and how they have evolved. It notes that while lecture capture has existed for a long time through methods like note-taking, modern technologies now allow for easy audio and video recording of lectures. However, the document argues that lecture capture should really be thought of more broadly as "class capture" and used to support blended learning models through capturing the entire classroom experience, including labs and discussions, and enabling students to access this content flexibly. It addresses both how lecture capture can help students and faculty concerns about its use.

1. Lecture Capture:
More than Just Capturing Lectures
Bill King, Echo360

2. What is Lecture Capture?
Lecture Capture is the use of a
set of technologies to capture
and then enable time-shifted
and place-shifted viewing of
the Lecture Content.

3. Lecture Capture is Not New:
Past Capture Approaches
• Note Taking
• Video capture
• Personal audio capture
• Audio podcasting
• PPT+audio / Camtasia / Impatica / Captivate
• PC-based Capture
• Appliance-based Capture

4. Why is Technology-based Lecture Capture
exploding now? Technically feasible.
• Capture Technology
• Audio/Video Convergence
• Processor Speed
• Memory
• Storage
• Bandwidth
• The Internet

5. Why is Technology-based Lecture Capture exploding now?
Students need it.
• By the time today‟s students go to college
they will:
• Have sent 15k text messages
• Have played 10k hours of videogames
• Do not have the discipline to read books
• Demonstrate different brain wave patterns of discrimination
• Consume technology
• Collaborate differently
Educause Study: Educating the Net Generation
• Mobility is taken for granted
• Attention spans are short and interrupt-driven
• “Just in time learning” replacing “Just in case learning”
• Graphics and “high resolution” are minimal standards

6. Does Lecture Capture Help Students?
UMASS Lowell eliminates bi-modal grade patterns
– 10% reduction in Ds, Fs and Ws in feeder calc course
University of Western Australia
– 58% respondents with learning disabilities use Lectopia because
they are „unable to take notes‟
– 64% of students with any disability said class capture was “essential”
Boston University
– Strong positive feedback from students, including quotes like:
– My study group uses the site when we don‟t remember exactly
what the professor said and we can go right to the part he/she
talked about and double check that
Central Wyoming College
– 6.5% increase in exam scores with podcasting

7. Other Types of Campus Challenges
• Campuses are competing for students:
recruit, retain, matriculate
• Student Athletes, including NCAA compliance
• ESL students and teachers: language fluency
• Special Ed needs (including 508)
• “Non-Traditional” students are now traditional!
(working students)
• Hybrid and Distance Education
• Moving beyond Lectures!

8. We Need more than
Lecture Capture!
We need to consider elements
of Blended Learning.

9. Supporting Blended Learning
Class (not just Lecture) Capture – the use of a set of
technologies to capture the audio and visual elements of
class time, to enable time shifted and place shifted
viewing. Labs, discussion, student presentations – all of it!
Personal Capture – the use of personal computers like
laptops to capture rich media (audio, video, materials)
whenever and wherever the professor might be. To
create and easily publish “learning objects.”
Media Upload – (new in 3.0) the ability to upload other
video files for publishing and management.

10. Other Media Upload for Flexibility
Teach

11. Moving beyond lectures,
to Blended Learning
• Classic: Capturing class time for review
• Repurpose for hybrid and Distance Education
• Capture class time for assigned reading, so you
can do OTHER things in class
• Inverted (Flipped)Classroom
• Use personal capture to build learning
objects, remedial work, and use it for you to catch
up on lost time
• Use external media upload to support field and lab
work, or to capture chalk talk

12. Capture Samples and Demo

right, engages learners and instructors

14. Faculty Issues
• I‟m nervous
– Does this mean I have to dress better for class?
– Won‟t my students stop coming to class?
– Isn‟t the institution trying to take away my job?
– What exactly is intellectual property, anyway?

15. You HAVE to do this!
• You HAVE to do this
– Your students are going virtual
– If you can be replaced by a talking head, it‟s not
“if” but “when.” ADD MORE VALUE!
– Figure out how you can use these tools to be part
of where education is going, not where it‟s been.

16. You HAVE to do this!
• You HAVE to do this
– Your students are going virtual
– If you can be replaced by a talking head, it‟s not
“if” but “when.” ADD MORE VALUE!
– Be careful with intellectual property, but GET
YOUR OWN BRAND OUT NOW!
– Figure out how you can use these tools to be part
of where education is going, not where it‟s been.

17. Summary
• Lecture Capture has been going on for 1000s
of years
• The technology change has accelerated, and
so hasn‟t lecture capture
• We can now capture lectures and play them
back 24X7
• But, we can do so much more. We need to
think more broadly than just “lecture” capture
