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 there are two downloadable versions of recordings:
1) slides (screen presentation) and audio
2) video of presenter with audio

The Lecturecast system is automated, events are not attended by audio-visual staff. Lecturecast is not recommended for high profile events.

There are a number of ways video content, other than scheduled recordings, can be placed in Lecturecast classes, these include:-

• Uploads from personal capture software (note that pre 2017 upgrade versions of personal capture software will need to be upgraded).
• Videos created using the Lecturecast mobile apps.
• Videos can be uploaded directly to a class by logging in to a Lecturecast section and using the upload facility. Note that each class can contain only one video but instructors can create any number of classes to house their content.
