At the current time UCL does not have an opt-out policy for Lecturecast. Use of the system is purely opt-in at the moment, so its use is up to the individual/department to decide. There are plans to move towards opt-out in coming years, but any such change will be agreed by Educational Committee first, with procedures and tools to facilitate this. Ground work is needed before this, specifically to clarify legal and policy aspects, and a Working Group has been set up under the Office of Vice Provost for Education to review and implement required policies to support an opt out Lecturecast solution. |

Yes, the live streaming function can be selected when scheduling modular events for which remote students need synchronous video transmission of a teaching event. UCL is a campus-based institution with the primary mode of teaching and learning designed to be face to face, and thus live streaming is not enabled by default. Live streaming using Lecturecast is not available for non-modular events. For special events requiring live streaming, please contact in the Educational Media team via video@ucl.ac.uk. |

For a given course, a Lecturecast activity link (or links) need to be added within Moodle and then mapped to the appropriate Lecturecast section.

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. |
