Lecture recording refers to the process of digitally capturing and archiving the content of a lecture, conference, or seminar. [1] It consists of hardware and software components that work in synergy to record audio and visual components of the lecture.

Hardware

[edit]

Hardware is used to capture the lecturer's voice along with the video of the lecturer, and the output of the computer. Once captured, the data is then either stored directly on the capture hardware or sent to a server over a LAN or the Internet. Viewers are then able to remotely access the recording, either in real time or ex post facto.
The recording of a lecture or presentation using any combination of the following tools:

Software

[edit]

Software is used both on the capture hardware, the viewer's computer, and the production server. Software ranges from simple web browsers and video players to stand-alone software programs made specifically for viewing lectures.[2][3] The viewer's as well as the presenter's software must be compatible with the software on the server which receives the content from the capture hardware, produces it, and sends it to the viewer's computer on-demand.[4]

Modern lecture recording software supports advanced features such as indexing through OCR, instant search, real-time video editing and annotation, along with other advanced features.[5]

[edit]

With the Accordent Media Management System users can view a catalog of all captured events, search intuitively through the catalog, and protects all of the stored media with a verified user security system.[16] With this system, professors will have an easy place to view what they have posted online for their students and they can be sure that only the correct people are watching with the unique login information each student has. Students, on the other hand, have a place to easily searched for captured classroom events and can stream the videos directly from the site. [16]

EchoSystems

[edit]

Built-in automation and integration capabilities make EchoSystem easily adjustable for any type of environment, from one single class room to an entire school campus. EchoSystem allows instructors to record their lectures from anywhere. Professors can lecture from classrooms, offices, or their own homes. EchoSystems requires that special software be installed on each computer. EchoSystems allows users to capture lectures through any camera, microphone, or sympodium. [17]

EchoSystem 4.0

[edit]

The latest version of EchoSystem is 4.0. This version of EchoSystems allows users to view lecture from any computer as well as from an iPhone or iPad. All lectures can be recorded in HD with high quality audio. A new feature called lecture collaboration allows users to take notes on the lectures, as well as join discussions with classmates. Lecture collaboration creates a collaborative online experience for all of the users. Students can use this tool to ask the professor any questions they might have about the lecture. [18]

The EchoCenter is where users login to access the material. From the center each lecture is shown in a playlist organized by the date a lecture was uploaded. This center allows professors to follow class discussions and track all of their lecutres. EchoSystems enable a central IT department to support a single backend server infrastructure to cover the entire campus. This allows separate departments within an organization to decide if and how to implement this system. [19]

Echo360 is also able to combine with other software. Echo360 and CaptionSync were combined to create a seamless software used by many universities. This version is able to view handwriting inputted by a tablet computer or other touch device and posts the writing under each lecture. This allows Echo360 to be used for math and science classes where there are calculations. [20]
