News from Academic Technologies
  • The Benefits of Echo360 Lecture-Capture Technology
    Currently in use in selected classrooms on campus, Echo360 lecture-capture technology enables instructors to record digital audio, images, and video for review by students or for incorporation into other teaching materials -- including being automatically uploaded to your Blackboard course site. While the term "lecture capture" implies recording of an actual class lecture, a broader definition includes the creation of learning objects, review sessions, tutorials, and screen casts that augment and complement classroom or online instruction. Representative from Echo360 were recently on campus to present "The Benefits of Lecture Capture," which provides a general overview of lecture/content capture with Echo360, including benefits, current research, and case studies, as well as how to use Personal Capture to create content while off-line and off-campus. View a recording of the presentation, filmed in a classroom with Echo360 lecture-capture technology.

"Clickers" use small keypads that wirelessly transmit student input to a receiver connected to a computer used by an instructor. More . . .
