If you have booked a Lecturecast equipped space via central room bookings this event will appear on the Lecturecast Scheduler and may be recorded. The resulting recording will appear in your personal library within Lecturecast and from here may be published into any course for which you have instructor access.

Please be aware that Lecturecast should not be used to publish recordings to non-UCL staff/students. If you need to make Lecturecast recordings available externally, and you have checked and cleared any potential copyright or policy restrictions, you can download the MP4 version from your library and upload to another service e.g UCL's Mediacentral - note that MP4 versions of recordings will only contain audio and screen and not the video of the presenter and so may not be suitable for all uses.

titleCan I book a recording for a non-timetabled/non-modular event?

 

The kinds of events that can be recorded are listed below. Please note that special events as defined below may be recorded but not published using Lecturecast.


Modular events:
These are events that are part of an undergraduate or postgraduate taught program that have been assigned to a specific portico taught module e.g. ECON1001. These can be scheduled via the Lecturecast scheduler tool and will automatically appear in the correct section within Lecturecast.

Non-Modular events:
These are events that are part of an undergraduate of postgraduate taught program but are not associated with a particular module code e.g a shared/common introductory lecture taught across multiple modules. These events as long as they have been booked in a lecturecast equipped spaces via room bookings can be scheduled for recording using the Lecturecast scheduler tool. They will not by default be associated with any particular section in Lecturecast but will be stored in the personal library of the person who made the booking, from this location they may be published into any lecturecast sections on which the person making the booking is an instructor.

Special Events:
A special event recording on Lecturecast is an event that is not part of an undergraduate or postgraduate taught program, e.g. an inaugural lecture, conference, outreach events etc.
Special events taking place in Lecturecast equipped spaces can be recorded but not published via the Lecturecast system, scheduling is via the Lecturecast scheduler. Initially the recording will sit in the personal library of the person creating the schedule, it should be downloaded and uploaded to another platform (e.g UCL Mediacentral or YouTube). Note downloadable versions of the recordings only contain slides and audio and not video of the presenter and for this reason Lecturecast may not be suitable for many special events. The Lecturecast system is automated, events are not attended by audio-visual staff. Lecturecast is not recommended for high profile events.
