Phillipson says that even though there is still lots of planning and work to be done, he hopes to have the entire lecture capture system ready to run by September 2015.
He also says the university is on a good track, and expects more positive results.
“We’ve had overwhelmingly positive feedback from the students,” Phillipson says. “There are many students who use it for revising, going back and watching a lecture again so they can get a better comprehension of the content. We’ve had positive feedback from students with disabilities; it affects their ability to learn the core course units. There have been great outcomes for us and we’ve been very happy with how the project’s been received by the students and project sponsors academically within the university.”
Tips to Implementing Your Own Lecture Capture System
Vertical Integration
Wunden says colleges that are looking to install their own lecture capture system should follow a vertical integration strategy.
That means getting all departments involved with and talking about the project from the get-go.
“Most [academics] like it, and I think one of the reasons is because the whole thing is backed by the whole university and the students,” Wunden says. “The whole project started out when they got bad review from students for their teaching services; they were saying that teaching was ok, but there was nothing else that we get in order to help us get better. Students were driving the demand. The university realized that and made sure that everybody important was on board was introducing that system.”
Make sure the solution meets academics’ needs
Phillipson says one of the best moves he made during the installation involved talking with instructors and making sure the new lecture capture system met their needs.
