titleWhat is actually recorded ?

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 handwritten notes or objects held under a visualiser); audio . 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.

titleDo I have to deliver my lecture differently ?

There are a couple of things worth remembering that reduce possible ambiguities in recordings.:-

  • Questions from the floor are often faint in the recording as it is usually only the presenter who has a microphone - by repeating . Repeating or paraphrasing the question before answering both question asked before answering will ensure that both the question and response are clear in the final recording.
  • It 's is best to use the computer cursor/mouse to highlight particular areas of the slide /or presentation when they are being referred to - devices . Devices like laser or physical pointers will not be captured.
  • The cameras used by Lecturecast will not effectively record materials being written on white boards. If you need to draw or , write or mark-up materials during your presentation it 's is best to use the in-theatre document camera.
