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!

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.
