  7. Video Classes at UCF • Originally a broadcast model • Microwave-based video delivery system • One-way, non-interactive, time delay • Interactive TV (ITV) • Polycom videoconference systems at most regional campuses • Two-way, interactive, no time delay / recording • McGraw-Hill Tegrity lecture capture

  9. Video Classes at UCF Today, lecture capture is supported in 2modalities: RV: face-to-face class where the majority of content is offered through the web; no more than 20% mandatory attendanceV: no face-to-face lecture, entirely web-based instruction

  10. UCF Tegrity Users • College of Engineering and Computer Science • Many small-enrollment classes • College of Business Administration • Many core courses through Tegrity • College of Sciences • Math certificate program • Political Science classes

  11. 2011 – 2012 UCF Tegrity Users • Number of online views: 734,247 views • Total duration of online views: 1,597,083 hours • Number of viewing users: 14,177 users • Total duration of new recordings: 7,332 hours

  22. Lecture-Capture Faculty Development • Web and lab-based • Pedagogy addressed through LMS-based learning objects (IDV Essentials) • Technology practice offered through the OIR Faculty Multimedia Center • Development program began March 2010 • 91 participants completed to date • 47 enrolled but not complete

  23. IDV Essentials Three modules designed specifically for lecture-capture modality: • Planning • Developing • Integrating

  24. IDV Essentials Modules: • Planning your Video Lecture Capture (VLC) • Things to consider, best practices and other tips • Developing Effective Video Lecture Capture • Designing presentations, using doc camera • Integrating VLC in the Online Environment • Preparing students, addressing communication issues, creating modules in the LMS

  25. Going Forward • Improve faculty development to achieve greater outcomes • Scaling the service to meet UCF’s needs • Reducing the cost of integrated installations • Continued improvement of integrated installations (annotation monitors, higher resolution document cameras, etc.)
