Timetabled lecture capture – Getting involved

In the first instance contact your departmental administrator with your request

Your request will then ultimately be put to Timetabling for scheduling

Once timetabled the ELDT will get back to you to confirm details for publishing your captures

Personal capture – What it is/does

Personal Capture is an application you install on your computer locally– Note that you can’t easily install it on a lectern PC and may

need your DCO to help you with a supported computer

It records your computer screen and audio (if you have a microphone attached). It can also record you physically if a camera/web-camera is attached

It is manually engaged/disengaged by you and is targeted at recording while sat at your desk

Personal capture – Publishing and getting

Personal Capture allows publish in exactly the same way as Timetabled capture– You specify where to publish to after you have captured– You can also (destructively) edit from the app

Demonstration of Personal Capture

Benefits of personal capture

Staff– Screen, audio and webcam (*optional)– No wait for production and publishing– Increased personalisation of online content– Visual explanation of threshold concepts– Simple production, editing and publication

Students– Control playback– Suit different learning styles– Personalise DL

How is personal capture being used?

Languages and Linguistics, Comp Sci, Education, CELT, Chemistry, HYMS, Biology

Ad hoc or reusable learning objects Distance learning

– Scene setting (start of course, week etc.) Feedback / exemplars “How to” reference videos Lecture supplements (issues arising) The “flipped” classroom

– Prepare for face to face– Built in interactivity

Considerations for creating personal captures

Personal capture or screencasting? How will they fit with F2f / other resources

and activities? Consider potential for reuse Production values (“good enough”) Will students know what to do with them?
