Lecture Capture in the Classroom

Every classroom podium computer offers two standard options for capturing screen content and the audio from a microphone. Kaltura Capture is associated with the Kaltura MediaSpace video storage platform.

Getting Started guide for recording your screen in the classroom with Kaltura Capture

How to record a slide presentation with Kaltura Capture

When you’re done recording, don’t forget to hit “Save and Upload”. Your media will automatically be saved to your MediaSpace account. See this handy guide for more tips on saving, uploading, and managing your recordings in Kaltura MediaSpace.

In addition to Kaltura Capture, every podium computer provides Zoom for screen recordings. Zoom includes the ability to record directly to the Cloud so you can skip the “Save and Upload” step necessary with Kaltura Capture. Your recordings will automatically be synched to your MediaSpace account. Start up a Zoom session, share your screen, and Zoom will record what’s on it. Here’s how to get started:

Explain Everything for Lecture Capture

Explain Everything is a popular app that is sometimes used for lecture capture when instructors are practicing the teaching strategies associated with Untethered Lecture Capture (developed right here at UP). Using this technique, instructors move throughout the classroom with an iPad that is used to interact with the content onscreen. Students, using the EE app on their devices, can also interact with the content. The content together with the screen interactions is recorded. To learn more about this teaching technique, contact ATSI at atsi@up.edu. To learn more about Explain Everything, check out these video playlist user guides:
