Dear TLT Colleagues 
I have been subscribed to this list for some time and always find the
discussions useful. I am currently managing a JISC project looking at
IPR in e-learning materials and digital repositories - the TrustDR
project, wesite at: http://www.uhi.ac.uk/lis/projects/trustdr 
 
I believe the Penninsula medical school in the South West are doing this
and Paul Russel (I think) would be the person to contact on this. 
 
For the sake of my project I wonder if I could take a straw poll from
this list and ask 2 related questions to this subject: 
 
1. Are you aware that lecturers have 'performance rights' over their
lectures independant of their employment contracts - and may withold
them? and do you ask or plan to ask their permissions? 
 
2. To manage the recorded lectures and get any advice about rights in
the associated content materials such lecture notes do you involve your
librarians  (who have an interest and training to help you in this
area)? 
 
If you want to reply to me direct that is fine - I shall anonymise any
comments - I suspect I know the answers! 
 
This email does not constitute legal advice etc. 
 
Cheers

Dear Paul,

Not sure how helpful the following is, but I'm looking at a slightly
different approach at Bristol. I'm tackling the need to provide software
that is flexible enough to handle the different requirements in the way
that lecturers, lecture, in terms of approach, style, lecture space,
numbers, interactivity, do they need video or will a simple screencast
do? etc., Plus the different delivery methods, i.e., web based,
podcasting.

I feel that we've not really thought about our needs enough, and engaged
the lecturers to favour a large scale deployment at this stage. As we
are just starting on this journey.

So at the moment for those that don't use powerpoints, and develop lots
of solutions (for instance, Science, Engineering) I'm experimenting with
a tablet pc, annotation software, and camtasia, clip mics etc., and
releasing the movie for the web (flash) or podcast (mpeg4).

Camtasia has a ppt add-on so people could simply present and show, and
it then captures the output.

It seems very straight forward with respect to the academic, and seems
to meet their needs. I'll probably push this model for a while, and run
it for the next academic year across a number of faculties.

It is probably not the medium term solution, given the pricing model,
however, I feel it will allow us to start thinking about what we (staff,
students) actually want.

If people want to find out more then see the following blog, includes
descriptions - worts and all.
