Lecture Capture over IP

Lecture Capture over IP

​​Watch, listen, remember. Lecture capture improves the learning experience

Capturing and sharing lectures online is quickly becoming the future of higher education. Not only allowing students to get more out of the learning experience but also enabling universities and high schools to reach larger audiences, even if they can’t attend in person.

Lecture Capture is a suit of technology that allows institutions to record classroom or lecture hall presentations and post digital versions online available for either live streaming or download.

Panasonic Lecture capture over IP is a cable-free and integrated solution which includes video capture, 4K projection, interactive whiteboard and online publishing (through external software such as Panopto).

Why lecture capture is a growing market

Recent market research suggests the global lecture capture market could increase from $2.24 bn in 2017 to 9.39bn by 2022.

Panasonic also conducted a survey interviewing 171 universities and other higher education institutions across 14 countries and found out that nearly 60% have planned to invest in Lecture Capture over the 3 coming years.

What could be the barriers or fears?

Reassuringly, some lecturers’ fears of a drop in physical attendance are proving unfounded. A University of Aberdeen report* published earlier this year found no evidence that lecture capture reduces attendance.

How students will benefit

How students will benefit

Understand more

Lecture capture helps make complex and difficult subject matter easier to understand.

Learn at your own pace

Lecture capture is great when the content isn’t in your first language, or if you find note taking difficult.

Encourages more questions

If students can’t ask all the questions they’d like during a lecture, or couldn’t attend, then they can view it later and ask follow-up questions.

Learn anytime, anywhere

Lecture capture is perfect for distance learning and overseas students. It’s a great way to fit in with students’ different learning styles and preferences. It especially helps students with disabilities or long-term illnesses who cannot attend lessons in person.

Punchier lectures

Lecturers can review and refine their content before going live. And they can easily add information from other sources to their lecture presentations, making them more memorable.

How students will benefit

How universities benefit

Memorable content

Create more engaging, interactive lectures. Make better use of classroom time, and encourage students to review ideas and problems outside the classroom.

Track usage

Identify what parts of lectures receive the most views, and what elements need more clarification or emphasis.

Generate revenue

How does it work?

Lecture capture systems include software and hardware to match institutions’ needs. As a minimum, they require a camera and lecture capture software allowing students to review the courses. To which you will then usually add projection and displays screens.
