• We are definitely in the infancy with this. We have been experimenting on a number of fronts and don’t have a single

solution.

• DCRS is a legacy solution that was never developed past a prototype. The system requires a fair amount of human

intervention to keep things moving smoothly, but works fairly well over all. We are currently evaluating Echo360 and

closely watching the progress of Relay.

• We have a variety of capture systems on campus. We have everything from Echo360s to hand held video cameras.

We are currently surveying our faculty and looking to find a campus wide standard that can be an affordable solution for

all of our classrooms across campus.

• Nascent and not fully supported by the university yet in terms of policy. This service continues to get a lot of requests

for use but there is not much interest in developing policies around the intellectual property issues, pedagogical issues

or the potential competitive value of having lectures and events offered this way. I look forward to a time when more

technologists who are supporting this kind of service can share and discuss the value of this technology.

• On occasion, we have utilized what was once Macromedia Breeze and is now Adobe Connect. We are part of a state-

wide consortial license for this product and it has been re-branded as IHETS Interactive. IHETS who coordinates the

connections, archives the sessions and facilitates the training website is http://www.ihets.org. This is currently being

used for class capture for universities around the state of Indiana.

• I’m only peripherally involved, as an adjunct

• We are researching solutions and hope do pilot this semester- Spring 2009. Looking forward to survey results.

• Use the article mentioned in the survey for contact information of those working with lecture capture here at the UW:

David Aldrich and Tim Betzel

• It is currently a solution being piloted in Spring 09.

• Piloting Panopto’s CourseCast starting today. My supervisor, Al McCord, and I just finished a textbook chapter on this

technology.

• Departments are developing their own solutions, but there is no centralized solution.

• This spring we will be piloting Apple’s Podcast Producer as our lowest cost option since we currently have Mac server

implemented and Mac OS available in most classrooms.

• Faculty has been slow to come on board - fear of being recorded and having their lecture, images out there.

• Our plan has shifted from simply providing lecture capture, to providing webcasting for our lecturers with the ability to

archive. Still in budget cuts with nearly everything on hold. Hoping to glean info from this survey in the future?

• We use iPods for faculty-initiated audio capture; but we have no “classroom”-based comprehensive capture solution.

Cost is an issue; as are concerns about cross-platform accessibility (we have bothe Mac and Windows users). The field

hasn’t really settled on a solution/product that meets all of our needs. Currently doing some beta-testingw ith Podcast

Producer.

• Lecture capture was initiated as a small scale project in one department. The students are really pushing the process

and volunteer their time to make sure the lectures are getting captured and rendered for upload by the department

representative.

• Remote controlled cameras are installed in 8 classrooms in the College of Engineering. The feeds from those cameras

and the signal from the in-room projector are transmitted by fiber optics to a central control room, where a student can

control the cameras and recording. Output can be recorded on Mediasite, videotape or streamed to whatever format

necessary or desired.

• We are just piloting the use of Tegrity, but have not yet made a determination of the sustainability of the solution.

• We are currently listing the pros and cons between Sonic Foundry and Echo 360 and then hope to standardize

• Though it is typically used for online courses, we found that Elluminate can also serve as a very good class capture tool.

Elluminate is putting other mechanisms in place so that we can save our files as mp3/mpeg4 files.

• We are looking for a campus-wide solution, but plan to place the first implementation in a new building on campus

during Fall 2009.

• We have looked at Echo360, Tegrity, and SonicFoundry MediaSite and found them all very expensive and limited in

scope. We will likely build our own custom system to deliver standard mpeg4 and mp3 files via iTunesU.

• Have been playing around with it. Interested in Free services like Panopto? something like that. Waiting perhaps from

a Mandate from our Prosost, or perhaps our new Academic Success Center which is working on improving retention

and our students first years experience. Getting intro courses captured might help with retention and overall success for

our students.

• Independent silos of lecture capture are scattered through some schools and colleges. Little concerted effort has been

done to look at pedagogical outcomes. In my assessment this is being done because it can be not so much because it

should be. On the other hand, it would be difficult to assess what should be done without the digital artifacts to work

with. Check out this article on Digital Asset Management to think about a more centralized approach to lecture capture.

• The University of Wisconsin-Madison is a large and decentralized campus with a variety of Schools, Colleges and

departments managing their own services. For general assignment classrooms we are exploring Podcast Producer with

interested campus partners.

• There are no low-cost readymade services on campus available to professors for regular/ weekly use. The IT

department charges professors $40/hr to send a camera operator to the class, (for me it would be $80 because it is an

evening class, so, overtime rates apply) and $40/hr for postproduction editing. As a professor with 450 students, no

extra time, and almost no budget to produce eleven 2hour lecture captures, I opted to hire a student videographer

instead of having a teaching assistant (cost $1000/term), and pay the IT department just to sync the video and

presentation slides, and post on the streaming server (cost $600/term, 1.25 hours per lecture). All editing was done on

the fly, in camera, because of lack of funds. The result was a choppy video, which students were fine with, but they
