The Capture LanDscape Centrally supported solution – Echo360 Two ways to capture Personal capture –on desktop/laptop, managed by instructor Classroom capture – appliance-based; hardware in classrooms CSU-hosted infrastructure Legacy system, no longer under development Echo has shifted support to cloud-based system UTFAB Update December 5, 2016

New recordings Fall 2013 2897 Fall 2014 3146 Fall 2015 4082 Fall 2016 Semester Recordings Fall 2013 2897 Fall 2014 3146 Fall 2015 4082 Fall 2016 3745* * Through Dec. 3 UTFAB Update December 5, 2016
Continuing with Echo Migrate to cloud-based platform Spring ‘17 ramp up July 1 “go-live” Current in-class appliances will continue to function Although they are out of warranty Transition for instructors should be minimal Includes Active Learning Echo’s engagement platform Venue-based license restriction gone UTFAB Update December 5, 2016
Exploring Alternatives Lecture Capture solutions are expensive Well north of $100K (licensing, infrastructure, FTE) No obvious ‘go to’ solution that would provide substantially improved service Strategically, would like to move toward a system that does not require proprietary hardware for in-class capture UTFAB Update December 5, 2016
Looking at things differently UTFAB Update December 5, 2016
Consider Youseeu CSU entered a 3-year contract in August, 2015 Accessible through Canvas to: Enable web-based presentation/meetings Enabling video assignments Create and post video-based content Some specific YouSeeU activities: In-Class – e.g. recording speech classes Individual Video – demonstrate competency via recorded presentation Sync – real-time video with screen capture UTFAB Update December 5, 2016
Youseeu Not created as a lecture capture solution, but; Provides personal capture solution Other large customers are requesting this A new release for CSU is due late December Some gaps exist when compared to our use of in-class capture today UTFAB Update December 5, 2016
Known ‘gaps’ Backend Instructor Scheduling deficiencies PCs in classrooms will need upgrades Instructor Must log into Canvas to start/stop recordings More difficult when using instructor’s laptop UTFAB Update December 5, 2016
Perspectives Instructors must remember to start/stop recordings Instructors can record when they want, no need to schedule first Same interface for personal capture and in-class capture UTFAB Update December 5, 2016
