ITS Echo360 Portal

Welcome to the UML Lecture Capture Portal

Echo360 Sample This website is intended to provide UML Faculty with information and resources for adding Lecture Capture to their course delivery. During the summer of 2010, UML entered into a partnership with Echo360 to become a Lighthouse partner. This agreement significantly increased the number of lecture capture classrooms on campus (60), upgraded our server infrastructure, and provided a more efficient and quicker method of posting captured lectures. If you are new to Lecture Capture, you can see an example of the technology by viewing an Analytical Chemistry class recording. For more information concerning lecture capture, click on the Resources tab above.

All faculty who are interested in having their lectures recorded to provide an additional learning resource for their students are required to complete a Lecture Capture Request Form.

UML Lecture Capture Policies

No class will be recorded without the expressed consent of the faculty member.

Lectures will be kept for the current semester and removed from the lecture capture archives following final exams (faculty member can request that the recordings be kept longer).

Lecture recordings will be restricted to UML students via their UML username/password. Other access controls are available on a per course basis.

The Instructor retains Intellectual Property rights of the recorded material. Additional information regarding Intellectual Property can be found on the UML guidelines.

Ad Hoc lecture recordings can be scheduled by the instructor whenever the resource is available (please provide at least 48 hour notice) .

All content will be delivered using streaming technology, thus eliminating portability of the recordings. Faculty can request podcasting if desired.

AdHoc Recording - Here is a short video explanation about making an AdHoc recording and how it works. There's a pdf version available, too.	pdf instructions
PCAP - Now you can record just about anywhere using PCAP. This short video shows you how it works.	pdf instructions
Ingest Media - Now you can bring in audio and video files for playback on the echo360 platform. Just about any file can be uploaded and used for a class. You can then have you students view these files. See the short video that will walk you through the process.	pdf instructions
Echo360 Player - Here's a quick overview of the player used for playing the captured sessions.
Editing Captured Sessions - When you are ready for the next step, you might want to try to edit a session that was recorded. You can remove extraneous material from the front or end of the session very easily, all without erasing the original material. See the basics tutorial here.
VPN - If you need to edit captured sessions or record using PCAP (see above), you will need VPN, especially if you are doing anything off-campus. Special note: just because you have a VPN account doesn't necessarily mean you have the correct VPN access. Read the pdf or view the tutorial.	pdf instructions
