  Benefits lecture capturehttp://www.wpi.edu/Academics/ATC/Collaboratory/News/lecturecapturing.html “ Students feel that the recorded lectures have a positive impact on their performance and 94% of students would like recorded lectures available in more courses.” “ Students and faculty both claim that the recorded lectures do not impact attendance” http://www.echo360.tv/customers/umass.asp “ 72% of students said that the Echo 360 lectures had contributed to their understanding of the subject matter” “ Students in Echo 360 -enhanced Calculus courses had a success rate (a grade of C or better) 11 percent higher than their peers, and received 10 percent fewer Ds, Fs, or withdrawals.” “ Echo 360 has a transformational effect on my students who've historically been in the bottom half of the Green Chemistry grading curve of 40% or less”

  Benefits lecture capturehttp://campustechnology.com/articles/52017/ “ Results from an initial study by a professor at Coppin State University in Baltimore indicate that class capture technology that allows students to view lectures online after the fact can improve course retention rates and grades” (caveat: “the data are preliminary, since they focused on a single course”) http://www.dartmouth.edu/~create/ “ While course capture clearly benefits students who miss class, Witters has found that all students gain from access to the recordings, particularly when it comes time for review.” http://edc.carleton.ca/blog/index.php/2008/02/12/enhanced-lecture-podcasting-benefits/

  How lecture captureworks Instructor contacts OIT and requests it Instructor puts on the clip-on, wireless microphone at the start of class Lecture audio, video, and projection are automatically recorded Recordings are automatically synchronized, packaged, and posted to Blackboard

  Lecture capture doesn’t work as well* for (* in our current set up) Discussions or highly interactive presentations Anything with lots of mobility Anything without a distinct, fixed center Presentations that don’t use the projector Anything you’d want around for more than a semester

  Lecture capture isbest for Lecture-style classes Classes that require a lot of review Classes that require memorization Classes where basic comprehension is an issue Presentations that take advantage of the projection system Any time the students would want to see and hear the lecture multiple times

  Lecture capture atWilliams right now 3 classrooms currently set up with fixed systems Jesup 205 Jesup 206 CDE classroom We would like to convert one or two of those to be mobile systems Used by OIT to record workshops

  Future lecture captureat Williams How would this technology best help our students? What are the instructor’s requirements? What classes would be best suited? What would be the best places for fixed systems? How can we make this work?
