Lecture capture

Lecture capture icon

UW Tacoma is now providing lecture capture podcasting in 29 classrooms that have been updated with audio recording and screencasting technology. See list of podcast classrooms below.

Podcasting is a time-shifting technology that allows users to listen to their selected podcasts whenever they like. This allows students to review not only at their time of convenience, but also at their own pace. Furthermore, because of the portability of the player devices, users can listen to audio files as they go about their daily activities.

Academic Technologies suggests using Blackboard (Bb) to post links and updates to course recordings, thereby ensuring that only registered students have access to restricted material.

Review
Students can view Tegrity videos in Windows, Mac or Linux operating systems.  Integrated post-processing allows instructors to easily create podcasts (.mp3), enhanced audio (.m4b), or vodcasts (.m4v) with just a few clicks.
Notes and Bookmarks
Students can type or write notes directly onto course slides, share notes with other students, and bookmark locations in a course video to note important subjects or points of confusion.  This feature can alert professors where additional instruction may be needed.
Search
Students can use keyword search to determine where a subject is discussed across all course content.  Search can also integrate with GALE Virtual Reference Library for additional reference materials.
Mobile Device Connectivity
Tegrity has iPad, iPhone, and Android apps, allowing students to review video course content while on the go.

Camtasia Relay Studio software

Camtasia Relay is also installed in our lecture capture classrooms. The capture options include: audio only, PowerPoint presentations with recorded discussion or screencasting anything shown on the computer. Academic Technologies provides the rendering service for your recorded sessions and distributes them in a viewable format on our podcasting server. You will be sent a notification via email that your file is ready and a direct link to it.  Files are usually available for students within 24 hours.
Please send an email request to athelp@uw.edu prior to recording.  We will configure your course on the server and send you the information needed to begin recording.
