3. 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

6. 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

7. 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

8. Looking at things differently

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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

12. 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
