Lecture capture can be configured automatically in rooms with installed hardware, utilizing a classroom PC or a personal laptop. It is also important for instructors to set expectations for the students about the value and recommended use of lecture capture as a review tool and not an in-class lecture replacement. For example, the incorporation of quick small-group conversations, the use of Poll Everywhere, and short in-class reflective writing exercises are ways to ensure that students who come to the classroom receive unique, interactive learning opportunities that are not available through a class recording. A March 2021 survey from the Student Voices Project suggests a majority of undergraduates would like instructors to continue making lectures available online for review when they return to primarily in-person learning.įaculty members concerned about a potential drop in classroom attendance once lecture recordings are available can contact the Poorvu Center for recommendations on differentiating the benefits of in-person attendance from those of lecture capture.

Lecture capture can be a one-time event, or scheduled on a recurring basis with content automatically delivered to students through the Canvas course site. Typical recordings include video of the instructor, a screen capture, and audio – all played back simultaneously. The practice commonly referred to as “lecture capture” gives instructors the ability to record their lectures or presentations for viewing via Canvas or through any web browser. Filming or recording lectures creates valuable opportunities for student review and can increase accessibility of course content via captions or transcripts.
