Lecture Capture


The core principle of Flexibility encourages you to record your face-to-face (either in person or synchronous online) lectures and make them available on Brightspace to students to re-listen at their own pace and on their own time. Some classrooms on Dalhousie campuses are equipped with Panopto software that allows you to record your voice, slides, and/or classroom. (Note: live lecture capture allows you to record your presentation and post it for asynchronous viewing in Brightspace; it does not allow students to attend your lecture virtually, in real time, as described in the Dual Mode and HyFlex models of blended learning.)

There are three methods for using live lecture capture in classes with in-person components:

Method 1: Rooms where you can use your own device

These rooms contain an automated recorder and sometimes a camera to capture audio, video, and data. You must use the microphone system in the room to teach.

If you are teaching in a classroom that is available for automated lecture capture, you will be notified in Brightspace and asked whether you would like to schedule a recording. Please email intech@dal.ca with any questions or concerns.

Rowe: 1028 Potter Auditorium
Computer Science: 127
Killam: MacMechan Auditorium

Method 2: Rooms where you must use the podium PC

This includes Panopto software downloaded onto podium PCs in classrooms that allows for automated lecture capture to capture audio and data. You must use the podium PC in the room and microphone system (if there is one) to teach. Rooms without in-house microphone systems are outfitted with stationary USB microphones.

Method 3: Personal capture

You can capture a live lecture using your personal device. This will require you to download the Panopto recording software on your personal device and set it up to record prior to your lecture. A USB mic is recommended to take full advantage of this method of capture. 
 

The Class Recording Protocol governs the use of recorded lectures by instructors and students. Please refer to the Protocol to help protect your intellectual property and to maintain the privacy rights of individuals, including your students and guest lecturers in your class.
