Some of the key benefits to lecturers are:-

• Students' ability to review lecture content should reduce the number of basic questions that lecturers have to answer repeatedly.
• Lecturecast affords the opportunity to 'flip' lecture content - delivering the informational content via pre-recorded material and making more productive use of contact time.
• The system logs viewing statistics, giving lecturers and course designers a good idea of how much a recording has been viewed and by whom.
• The system also has a 'Hot spot' system, allowing lecturers to quickly find areas of recordings that have been repeatedly viewed by many students - this can be a valuable aid in identifying topic areas that students find particularly challenging.

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.

No you don't. Many users of Lecturecast are quite happy for their recordings to be automatically made available. In most cases editing should not be necessary but it is important, for example, where personal conversations between staff and students may have been accidentally recorded The choice whether or not to make recordings automatically available can be made at the point of scheduling. Instructors may also make available/unavailable any recording.
