This small, regional school on 150 acres of rural land overlooking the Rio Grande Valley is capturing more than 10 classes a day, streaming over 10 hours of content a day, with just 2 full time employees. The campus now provides lecture capture in almost every course, working from scratch to retrofit the infrastructure in these technology-enabled rooms to support academic webcasting.

Najib Manea, Ph.D., an Instructional Technologist and the Program Director of UNM Valencia's Teaching and Learning Center, has created one of the most prolific lecture capture programs in the U.S. for a campus this size. And he did it without overwhelming the instructional support team, sacrificing quality or negatively impacting the faculty experience in the classroom.

Join him for this live presentation as he discusses:

• How they paid for lecture capture at this scale?
• What were the requirements for launching this aggressive program, and why the selection of Mediasite was core to building their foundation for online learning?
• When they involved campus administration and faculty in the decision-making, and how they overcame faculty resistance to being recorded?
• How they made decisions about cameras, mics, bandwidth and other educational technology within the classroom, and what they would have done differently?
• Why, based on evidence of learning impact, he believes lecture capture will be one of the cornerstones of pedagogical advancement over the next decade?
