Class Capture & Archive

Analog to digital conversion, and recording, of audio, video, and presentation (usually laptop) sources, all ultimately re-combined into a common display experience. Some systems allow live transmission of such captures; all of them archive these sessions for post-class playback.

System Elements

Capture Station:a device (usually a computer with analog to digital capture cards) to which you connect the camera, microphone, and laptop. Some systems require a standalone, specially-configured computer as the capture station; some will use the presentation laptop itself, with necessary software loaded on the computer.

System Elements

A server, or servers, to reflect the live, or archived, video stream(s), and to web serve graphics and browser windows, and manage the content organization (schedule of recordings, resulting file names and links, metadata, etc.) of the captured sessions.

Does Class Capture Work?Can you hear (and see) me now??? Yes?

So…

In a perfect world, it does.

Perfect world = a technology equipped space, or a system where staffing “creates” a technology equipped space.

Imperfect world = average un-staffed classroom.

The Devil’s Details

• Who assures media production values?

Production value = the minimum level of a/v quality that avoids distraction…

But……the higher the production

values, the more likely there are…

• Personnel Points! (aka, pain points).

“What won’t change is the need for [a] presence behind the camera. Instructors tend to move around in the room…so somebody has to be there to redirect the camera.”

• Personnel Points! (aka, pain points).

“The main lesson learned from this unsuccessful experience (dispersing portable equipment to lecture halls) is that lecturers should not be involved in the technical aspects inherent to a lecture-recording system.”

What’s an Administrator to do?

The Financial dilemma…

• What is the instructional amortization (the learning ROI) that informs technology (class capture) investment?

U Profs Call New Science Building Too Experimental

Pioneer Press, 10/03/07

“I have heard no outcry from these folks [students assessed in satisfaction surveys] that the teaching being done in the science classroom building is deficient because of the classroom size”

What do students want?

Scott McLeod, Technology & Learning, August, 2007

“It’s a fairly damning indictment of postsecondary teaching when students can see the possibilities of digital video, podcasts, blogs, wikis and other tools when their instructors can’t……Ultimately, students will migrate to universities that “get it”…[Technology lagging colleges and universities will] be left to cry in their books while students take their learning, and their tuition, elsewhere.”

Are we focusing on the right screen?

• Nearly half, or 44%, of the 2,337 online respondants surveyed in March by JupiterResearch do want video on their phone.

• “[T]he iPhone foretells the obsolescence of traditional consumer products.”
