titleWhat is Lecturecast?

Lecturecast allows for the scheduling and recording of lectures in Lecturecast enabled UCL teaching spaces to support student learning.
Recordings can then be made available to students via Moodle courses.
The Lecturecast system provides a learning platform that goes beyond the simple recording of lectures, allowing staff to engage with students, and students to engage further with content.

titleHow long will recordings be kept?

Recordings and other content will held for a rolling seven year period following the last time the material was accessed. i.e for material to be automatically deleted it would need to sit un-viewed for seven yearsRetention policy is currently under review, once agreed with Echo360 this FAQ will be updated.

titleWhat about recordings made in the previous Lecturecast system?

Content recorded using the Lecturecast system prior to the upgrade will continue to be available via the old Lecturecast system for at least a year after the upgrade. No new recordings can be made on the Lecturecast Legacy system but existing links to recordings held there will continue to function for at least a year post upgrade. No automatic migration of old recordings will take place. Find out more about Lecturecast Legacy and how to migrate individual recordings in the Lectuirecast Legacy section.

titleCan I bulk download some of the Legacy recordings before they are removed permanently?

There is currently no process for bulk downloading of legacy recordings.

The Lecturecast Project team are going to migrate legacy recordings into Lecturecast before the Legacy system is decommissioned.

In the interim, if you need to access a Legacy recording you can:

  • Download individual recordings and upload them to the new system (refer to the Migrate Legacy content guide for instructions)
  • Provide students a link to the particular recording in the Legacy system

titleDo I need to change my settings in Safari?

Echo360 is a web-based application that uses a browser to view content and as such has certain browser requirements. Beyond ensuring you're using a supported browser, there are also some browser configuration settings you may need to check or change to successfully use Echo360 (especially if using Safari on iOS/MacOS).

titleProblem with capture preview for Lecturecast Personal Capture (PCAP) for Mac High Sierra users [Mac OS 10.13]

Issue: The capture preview appears to jump around between frames.  The completed capture is however fine. 

Advice: Mac PCAP users can still complete personal captures on High Sierra by starting the capture normally even though the preview does not display properly.

Echo (Lecturecast service providers)  are working on a new capture application that will resolve the issue  and they hope to have a beta application available for users in early 2018.
