Don’t fret. We guarantee you aren’t the last person on the planet to know what lecture capture is. Chances are, you’ve already heard of it by another name: elearning, online classes, distance education or even coursecasting.

But now is the time to get a solid understanding of this educational technology. According to the 2009 Campus Computing survey, more than half of all universities already have a strategic plan for lecture capture or are working on one. The Sloan Consortium reports more than a quarter of all students now take at least one online course. And analysts predict the academic webcasting market will triple over the next five years.

So here’s your chance for Lecture Capture 101 – jot down your questions and get ready to ask the market leader everything you ever wanted to know about putting your lectures online. First we’ll present the basics with examples you can reference – including photos, anecdotes and published research – and then we’ll take your questions live, including:

  • How does lecture capture work exactly? Do we really need hardware? Isn’t software a more affordable approach? And couldn’t we just build a system like this ourselves?
  • Is it true if you put lectures online that students won’t come to class? Or if they do come to class, they don’t take notes or participate?
  • Why stream video? Why not webcast just the audio and PowerPoint? 
  • How does teaching with Mediasite compare to teaching in a classroom built for videoconferencing?
  • Isn’t lecture capture just a way for the university to steal a professor’s intellectual property?
