12 IT Sligo Transition to Podcasting

13 How does it work?

14 Step 1 Lecturer Clicks on Record

15 Step 2 - File Uploads to Server

16 Step 3 - File Published to Students

17 Students Slide Search

18 NY Times Article Aug 2009 On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction.

19 What did the Professor Say? Check your ipod

20 20 HP Halo Telepresence

21 Live Learning The Future Two instructors in a radio show format Simulations on the screen during the live lecture

22 "This guy is amazing Bill Gates

23 Brian Mulligan WILL IT DISRUPT?

24 Disruptive Technologies Technical innovations Disrupt the status quo Displace existing technology Change a business model So, What is lecture capture?

25 How much does it cost to record and publish a lecture? Recording set up. Video Audio Screen capture Etc. Mixing Editing Post-processing Publishing Yale: 40k per course

26 How much does it cost to use Powerpoint in a lecture?

27 What if it was that easy and cheap to record a lecture?

28 What do we really need to record? Audio Slides/Data Projector Video Whiteboard Audience??? Do we really need to edit?

29 What does a Lecture Capture System do? Records screen and audio other devices (video, document readers, etc.) Uploads raw recordings Post-processes Multiple output formats Publishes to the Internet VLE, RSS feed, itunes, YouTube etc.

30 ...an easy way to: Lecture Capture is... record, post-process and publish lectures.

31 Criteria for selection Ease of recording Ease of publishing Scalability Cost of hosting Bandwidth requirements Recording, viewing Publishing options Output quality and formats Navigable recordings

32 Examples Software based recording is more cost effective and flexible than hardware based.

33 Will lecturers use it? Remains to be seen. Gaining traction in the US. Must be VERY EASY to use. Must have benefits for the lecturer.

34 Benefits Better learning resources Increased enrolment (flexibility)

35 A Game Changer? The progressive lecturer VLE, web resources, online discussion, online submissions and feedback Add lecture recordings No need for attendance Campus Learning = Distance Learning No distinction The Death of Distance Learning

36 Which will have the biggest Impact? Free Content? MIT Open courseware, Khan Academy Online HE from abroad? Eg. USA Online from private institutions? Eg. Phoenix, Hibernia, Kaplan Professional Accreditation? Disaggregation of teaching and assessment. Low cost providers? University of the People

37 Impact of Lecture Capture Negative: Increase in availability of free content Increase in competition From below

38 Impact (Positive) Allow universities to decrease unit costs Increase in class sizes: Amalgamation between departments, campuses, colleges and modes. May require Disaggregation Content tutoring/continuous assessment Examination/accreditation Select tutoring methods to suit markets.

39 A Possible Outcome Competition enhanced by technology Globalisation Privatisation Response by public education Flexible access Specialisation Increased enrolment Reduced unit costs The Long Tail

45 Yale has spent $30,000 to $40,000 for each course it puts online. This includes the cost of the videographer, generating a transcript and providing what Diana E. E. Kleiner, who runs Open Yale Courses, calls quality assurance. The Open University s free offerings have been downloaded more than 16 million times, with 89 percent of those downloads outside the U.K., says Martin Bean, vice chancellor of the university. Some 6,000 students started out with a free online course before registering for a paid online course.

46 Lecture Capture World Market The revenues for hardware, software, maintenance and support revenues are anticipated to measure in excess of $50 million in Frost & Sullivan's 2010 research, World Lecture Capture Solutions Market.
