CourseCast Now Allows Lectures on Demand

A new Blackboard feature, Panopto CourseCast, allows professors to replay difficult material, as well as post and share a brief lecture or commentary before class. CourseCast also allows students to catch up on class lecture and discussion missed due to illness or activities.

Using this technology, instructors can capture their voice, the teaching station computer screen and even video of themselves talking, teaching and demonstrating. All this is packaged in a web-friendly format via links in Blackboard.

Students can review the content on their own time to better understand concepts, take better notes, learn new processes or make up absences.

Instructors and students alike have reported positive experiences after trial uses of course capture technologies.

Panopto’s CourseCast was recently selected as Truman’s solution for long-term course capture and re-delivery. Available now in the C-Level Smart Classrooms, course, lesson, tutorial or speech capture is possible on any computer with a webcam or microphone. Instructors can record material in classrooms, offices or even on-the-road situations with little preliminary set-up.

For a complete introduction to this technology, go online to http://ids.truman.edu/coursecast or contact the Instructional Design team via the IT Services Help Desk at 785.4544 or on the web at http://hdo.collegis.com/truman/.

Those interested can submit a case requesting a consult for Panopto CourseCast.
