Lecture capture and video storage

The Replay service uses the Panopto media platform to store and manage video and audio recordings.

Replay recordings are usually an automated recording of the projection screen (for example lecture slides) with synchronised audio (your verbal presentation), in over 230 rooms.

Replay can also be used for student presentations, video feedback and creating at-desk recordings to target specific knowledge gaps or as part of a flipped-classroom approach.

Benefits of lecture capture

Lecture capture does not replicate the teaching session, but offers a different learning experience.

Students can recap and revise complex or new ideas, and won’t get left behind if they are unable to attend a lecture due to illness.

Lecture capture helps to overcome language barriers. Students can replay sections to understand contexts and terminology.

It offers an additional learning resource for disabled students, including those who choose not to declare their disability, enabling them to control the volume, pace and screen size of presentations.

As a lecturer, you can also monitor which parts of your recordings are most viewed. This can help you identify where further explanation or guidance may be required.
