1. Logging In
The Lecturecast Scheduler tool is typically used by Course Administrators and Tutors to schedule Lecturecast recordings
for a specific lecture or series of lectures.
Events will be available in the Lecturecast Scheduler when a room booking has been made and confirmed in CMIS in a
Lecturecast enabled teaching space. If you cannot see an event in the Lecturecast Scheduler please ensure the
room booking has been confirmed in CMIS.
When a CMIS room booking is changed the corresponding Lecturecast schedule is also changed. For example, when a
CMIS room booking is cancelled the corresponding Lecturecast schedule is also cancelled. A notification is sent to the
event owner advising them of this.
NOTE: When CMIS is unavailable, e.g. when auto-rooming takes place, changes to recording schedules cannot be made.
Schedules for Lecturecast recordings can be created for individual or multiple events.
You can only delete a Lecturecast schedule which you created.
2. Selecting a Course
Access the Lecturecast Scheduler
Enter your UCL username and password and then click ‘Login’.
3. Selecting Course Requirements

The home page contains some information about using each of the tabs in the tool.

- Turnitin assignments
- Blackboard collaborate rooms
2. Selecting a course
2.1 Select the AMP Modules to do tab to access the modules allocated to your department.
2.2 Select the AMP code for the course you wish to have migrated. In this example we are selecting 'ECON0006'.
3. Selecting course requirements

Use the 'This is a high priority course for early migration' if this course needs to be available to students before the normal start of term e.g. for pre-enrolment or orientation activities.
The different scenarios and options for migrating Moodle courses are listed in the table below.
| Scenario | Requirement | Action |
|---|---|---|
| A module in Moodle contains a single teaching course | Copy the course content (and staff enrolments) to the corresponding new module code in new Moodle | Select Option 1: Lift and shift: copy module as is (including content and staff enrolments) |
| A module in Moodle contains a single teaching course | Build this course from an empty baseline template in new Moodle. | Select Option 2: Create an empty course and transfer the staff enrolments only |
| A module in Moodle contains several teaching courses | Copy all the courses to the corresponding new module code in new Moodle | Select Option 1 or 2 as before and copy and paste the links for each additional course into the Associated Moodle Courses section. |
| A single course combines the teaching for several different modules | Copy this programme-level course to new Moodle | Select Option 3: This module is covered by a programme-taught course in Moodle and submit. Repeat this action for each module which relates to this course. Migrate the programme level course as shown in Section 5 below. |
| A module in Moodle contains a course which wont be taught any more | None | Select Option 4: We don't need this any more, don't copy anything |
A module in Moodle contains courses which are not related to teaching e.g. study skills, student area, extra-curricular work, careers, staff use | Copy the course content to new Moodle | Refer to Section 5 to submit these courses for migration. |
| None of the above - complex use of modules, programme levels, courses | Need to discuss and plan actions with Moodle Migration Team | Select Option 6: It's complicated - we need to talk, to have a member of the team contact you to discuss your needs. |
