The Lecture Recording System (LRS) provides the automatic recording of course lectures, including demonstrations and student presentations, for an entire term. The LRS is currently installed in specific rooms on both the downtown and Macdonald campuses.
Recorded lectures are a valuable resource for students, allowing them to review course lectures online at any time. McGill students have repeatedly commented on the benefit this system has had on their own learning, because they can replay parts of a lecture that they did not fully understand during the class.
Features:
- Audio captured via the classroom microphone
- Records visual activity on the presentation screen, either from a laptop or a document camera (digital camera that replaces overhead transparency projectors and can display opaque objects as well as transparent slides)
- Instructors have the flexibility to select which lectures to make available, and can publish them in a variety of file formats
- Instructors can choose to restrict access to class members, via links within myCourses, or allow general access to recordings via a publicly accessible URL
- Does not capture content played on the DVD/Blu Ray player
- (In a few classrooms) Records full video of the lecturer presenting
Lectures are recorded in their entirety. They cannot be edited or cropped. However, instructors can choose to disable viewing of an entire lecture recording, for example, if the content is considered to be sensitive or unsuitable for publication.
