Webinar: The Educational Technology Shopping List for Pain-Free Lecture
Capture
When: Tuesday, April 26, 11:00 - 11:45 a.m. Central
Where: Register at http://bit.ly/dXMWii.
Nontraditional students are increasing their demand for online learning. Thomas Kemp went looking for tools that would build a goof-proof, pain-free - and in some cases completely hands - free - technology-enhanced classroom. A space that would increase recording capacity, and ability to archive and distribute lecture captures, but decrease the amount of training time for staff, faculty and students.
The search led to the Mediasite lecture capture system integrated with room control panels, electronic whiteboards, ceiling-mounted microphones, in-class mounted confidence monitors, high-tech projectors and motion-sensing wall-mounted cameras that
auto-track the presenter. Put it all together and what do you get? A smart classroom that eliminates the need for staff to manually operate anything.
Join us for this live webinar where Thomas will present his latest shopping list for automated lecture capture solutions and examples of room technology options that work.
Presenter: Thomas Kemp, director of instructional technology and support at Ashland University
Moderator: Sean Brown, vice president of Education of Sonic Foundry
