Lecture Capture

New in ME 1.13! The Elentra lecture capture tool allows you to automate recordings of specific event types in specific room locations and have the resulting videos posted as resources to the relevant events.

The Elentra lecture capture tool is designed to work with NCast telepresenters. For more technical information about how to setup your NCast tools, the required calendar feeds, etc. please contact Alice Rush-Rhodes ([e-mail]).

To use the lecture capture tools you must provide the appropriate information in various parts of the platform. You need to:

1. Define the technical resources in rooms stored in System Settings>Locations (see here for more information).

2. Configure courses to automatically record sessions via Manage Courses (see here for more information; you'll need to scroll down to the lecture capture section).

3. Ensure faculty have consented to recording their sessions (see here for more information).

4. Optionally manage events as needed to edit recording status (e.g. if faculty can turn recordings on and off).

At the start of each day, a background process checks all events that are set to be recorded that day. The system automatically creates a streaming resource that will be available 30 minutes after the end of the recording and posted to the relevant event. (An organization can modify the 30 minute duration in the settings table - ask a developer for help to do this.)

Learners will see resources added to events as shown here.
