E-learning

Audio and video

You could use video and audio to:

• record teaching sessions so students can review them later to help clarify their understanding
• record announcements and welcome messages to provide a sense of personalisation in a Study Direct site
• provide short focused materials to stimulate discussion, give revision hints etc.

The University has installed the Echo360 lecture capture system in nine teaching rooms on campus. Echo360 records a teaching session in a variety of different formats including synchronised visuals (e.g. PowerPoint slides) and audio (voice). Staff can also choose whether they wish to include a video of themselves.

Find out more about Echo360 and lecture capture.

If you're not teaching in a room that has Echo360, or would like to make shorter recordings, you could use the Echo360 Personal Capture system. This version is installed on a laptop, so there is much more flexibility about when and where you make your recordings.
