Our multimedia production and processing facility is now available to online and hybrid teaching faculty and we welcome you to tour your new eLearning Technologies Center, or the ETC, where we have full service lecture capture capabilities providing everything from recording to cloud.
Lecture capture is very popular with students, who report they can repeat certain sections for improved comprehension and understanding. It has also been shown to increase retention in the online course and we see it as an important aspect of Clark’s online and hybrid offerings.
Cloud delivery is the preferred method, allowing efficient streaming instead of downloads or DVDs, and bandwidth scalability when large numbers of students are viewing all at once. After your recording is processed, we provide you with an access link which you can place directly in your course. This helps to keep your course file size down for backup, copy, and import processes. Streaming is also more accessible for the online student and helps to keep their costs down.
The ETC has many options for a variety of lecture captures from iPods with cameras and mics for eLearning faculty checkout, to a lab with a private recording booth, to a studio with a fully equipped Smart Classroom style podium and wall mounted cameras. For more details, you can visit our ETC page and contact Scott for a tour, iPod checkout, or to discuss your multimedia needs.
