Hope this is not too far off message. We have been routinely recording lectures in Biosciences for a while now with and ‘opt out’ approach. We held a workshop in February with staff and students to re-evaluate
the lecture in the light of lecture recording. I attach my informal take on the event which I hope will be of interest

Subject: Re: Content and Audio Capture at MMU
Hi all
I have recently come across two or three instances of colleagues telling me that they have strategic students who do not attend lectures when they know they are being recorded because they will watch the recordings,
making notes, fast forwarding through the waffly bits reducing the time to sit through the presentation considerably. Of course, this raises the interesting question of how do they recognise the patterns in order to stop fast forwarding in the right place?
Best
Steve

Five comments.
1: "Audience interaction would be nice but is not mission critical" seems to me to be saying "audience learning is not mission critical".
2: Such systems also make it very scary to use images or video clips, re copyright.
3: I for one am much more boring when I know everything is being recorded. (Don't reply "only then?").
4: My impression remains that very few people actually use the captured recordings. I've yet to have feedback mentioning 'saw it on your recorded lecture'.

Apologies if you get this twice via SEDA or HEDG . . .
Below is a list of ‘requirements’ that have been laid out by the IT team here at MMU charged with introducing a lecture capture system. I would be hugely grateful f anyone is willing to share their experiences of platforms, usability, staff and student responses etc..
I am aware of much of the research, but would appreciate personal views on what works / doesn’t work.
· Must record built in PC desktop and support laptop / Mac connectivity (software requirement - any MMU device, BYOD (bring your own device) –mobile / tablet integration may prove difficult)
· Must record audio of connected PC / laptop / Mac desktop (basically any device connected that is being used to deliver the lecture)
· Must render output file within a small time frame, or be agile enough to queue them and upload at a scheduled time.
· Moodle / Kaltura integration required.
· AD authentication - or at least single sign on to give the user a seamless experience.
· We must capture the lecturer / speakers audio. Audience interaction would be nice but is not mission critical.
· Needs to be future proof as we may want to progress with video lecture capture not audio and content only.
· A system that can be managed and scheduled before sessions begin, therefore minimising recording maintenance. The lecturer / speaker would not need to worry about starting and stopping recordings. The recording then needs to migrate itself to a personal area to the person that the recording is intended.
As usual, I will collate and share any response (unless you indicate that you would rather any views remain unshared!)
Best wishes everyone and hope you are enjoying this weather!
