What is Lecture Capture?

Lecture Capture makes recording presentations, such as classroom lectures or supplementary materials, extremely easy and accessible to students. Recordings can consist of any combination of screen capture, camera video, and microphone audio from a podium computer or laptop. Captures are posted to your course page on a centralized server that can be accessed by a web browser or mobile device. Usage statistics allow you to see exactly how your students are using this material.

Lecture Capture at Penn State

Penn State is currently evaluating a lecture capture system called Echo360. Echo360 allows for the automated capture and distribution of instructional audio and video, including lectures and other supplementary content. The Echo360 pilot will run through the Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 semester. If you are interested, contact capture@psu.edu
