A new Moodle block has been created allowing the linking of a Moodle course to a Lecturecast section. As Moodle courses act as gateways to associated Lecturecast content the Moodle-to-Lecturecast course link must be set up before course staff and students can access Lecturecast content. |

Lecturecast spaces sections(usually a module) can be configured to offer students downloadable versions of recordings (MV4 files of screen presentation and audio) in addition to the usual streamed format. This facility is very helpful to those students who may have limited internet access, wish to study offline or may incur high charges for data usage. Please request this via email to digi-ed@ucl.ac.uk who will be happy to make downloads available for your module(s).Downloadable versions of recordings are available to instructors via the Lecturecast admin interface whether or not this facility has been made available for students By default downloads are enabled but may be disabled at section level by anyone with instructor access to the section. |

By default Lecturecast captures all material sent to the room's projector from any connected device (e.g PowerPoint slides from an attached laptop, hand written notes or objects held under a visualiser); audio is captured via a clip-on radio microphone and video of the presentation area (i.e the lecturer or presenter) is captured via a small fixed position camera. The video of the presenter may be omitted from the recording by ticking the appropriate box at the point of scheduling. |

This is done via the web using the Lecturecast admin pages which allow you or a nominated member of staff to edit and manage your recordings To gain access to these admin pages you will need to complete the Introduction to Lecturecast training. Following this you will need to contact digi-ed@ucl.ac.uk and ask to be given instructor access to your module(s). Note that you can book a recording before taking the training, but will not be able to access it until you've completed either the online or face-to-face training provided by E-Learning Environments. |

No you don't. Many users of Lecturecast are quite happy for their recordings to be automatically published. By default Lecturecast modules are set up so that recordings are initially unavailable, but if all tutors on a given module agree, a module's recordings can be made available as soon as they have been processed (this is usually within a few hours of recording). It's quite common for lecturers new to Lecturecast to begin with the default of unavailable and then move to auto-publishing once they're comfortable with administering their recordingsmade available. The choice whether or not to make recordings automatically available is available at the point of scheduling. Instructors may also make available/unavailable any recording. |

At the very least you will need to obtain rights clearance from the speaker(s) involved, ensuring agreement to the use or uses you intend to make of the recording. More advice is available from the Library services copyright pages |
