Classroom Capture

Classroom Capture is a richly featured recording service for the modern university course. In contrast to traditional lecture recordings, Classroom Capture packages slides and faculty lecture with rich metadata and transcriptions for accessibility. Students and faculty are no longer limited to play, stop and skip. Search keywords take viewers directly to content playback time in the lecture.

Once scheduled, recordings automatically start, stop, and publish to sharable video channels in Canvas.

This full featured teaching and learning tool changes what was once a flat, often cumbersome lecture playback into a multi layered, interactive viewing experience, offering students another way to succeed in courses.

Classroom Capture User Engagement Project

During the 2018–19 academic year, the Academic Technology Design Team worked on a project focused on better understanding how instructors and students use Classroom Capture and how to make more efficient and effective use of the service. Key findings include:

• The availability of lecture recordings does not impact student attendance.
• Instructor and student users find Classroom Capture an invaluable technology that positively impacts teaching and student success.
• Instructors find Classroom Capture easy to incorporate into their teaching.
• Classroom Capture is highly reliable with very satisfied users.
