Overview

Classroom capture technology allows an instructor to record his or her lectures and presentations and make them available to students via media content sites such as iTunes U, YouTube, and other streaming media services as well as the WebCT and Blackboard learning management systems.

Recorded content can be provided to students through audio files, enhanced podcasts incorporating visuals, or full, rich-media presentations that add a video component. Students can use these recordings to review material presented in the classroom and to prepare for tests and quizzes.
