Supplementary learning resources in the Department of Economics and Related Studies: Replay – Lecture Capture

Department of Economics Supplementary learning resources: Replay – Lecture Capture Dr Fabrizio Iacone (senior lecturer) Chair, Chair, Departmental Teaching Committee Welcome meeting for new UG students 2016

Lecture Capture Lecture Capture is a technology that allows the recording, editing and publishing of capture presentation slides and audio, for use of internal students. Internal students may then access and view the captured material (Replay). All First Year modules have adopted Replay – Lecture Capture.

Benefits of Replay – Lecture Capture Previous academic studies and a survey of the student body signalled an interest in the adoption of this technology. Reviewing lectures with Replay: allows to focus on the section of lecture that is most of interest / relevant may facilitate weekly and end-of-term revision is especially valuable for non-native English speakers. The Department has adopted an opt-out policy: lectures running in rooms where the technology is available will use Replay Lecture Capture unless the module leader decides not to do so.

Replay as Supplementary learning resource The Guidance Note to Students is available as a google document. Note that ‘REPLAY IS PROVIDED AS A SUPPLEMENTARY LEARNING RESOURCE AND IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR ATTENDING LECTURES’.

Limitations of Lecture Capture IF A RECORDING DID NOT TOOK PLACE, or if it was edited to make it unavailable, THE LECTURE WILL NOT BE RE-RECORDED. Replay does not capture what is written on chalkboards or whiteboards. Replay is also not designed to capture discussions between the lecturer and the audience. Unless specified otherwise by the lecturer, it is assumed that all the teaching material presented in a lecture is part of the syllabus and is examinable, regardless of whether it is available on Replay.

Thank you
