  •  
    "Finie l'ère des cours en amphis surpeuplés ? Ces dernières années, les universités ont redoublé d'efforts pour se mettre à l'heure du numérique. Une impulsion qu'a accentué Valérie Pécresse en lançant à l'été 2009 son plan numérique dans le sillage du rapport Isaac qui avait soulevé en 2008 les nombreux obstacles persistants à l'avènement d'une "société de la connaissance en réseau". Grâce au plan de relance, 16 millions d'euros ont alors été débloqués pour permettre aux 83 universités françaises de faire "un bond en avant" et devenir des "lieux high tech" en complétant leur couverture Wi-Fi et en développant la diffusion des cours en podcast."

Lecture capture: software and hardware collaboration - Installation - 1 views

  • Panopto’s third generation capture tools record from virtually any video or audio device that can be plugged into a laptop and can capture and play multiple simultaneous video feeds, slides, images and screen recordings.
  • However, the choice of lecture capture software is affected by the selection of hardware, and this can be a problem. As Dean Offord, European sales engineer for Panasonic Business, points out: “At the moment compatibility between software and hardware is not as universal as vendors of either would like. Simple integration is incredibly important within AV. That is why Panasonic ProAV has recently developed the new Virtual USB driver to configure the Panasonic PTZ line-up with popular lecture capture systems over IP with a single Cat5e or Cat6 for high-definition capture
  • Collaborations between lecture capture hardware and software companies are a great way to offer a full systems package to educational institutions, giving peace of mind of a reliable and high quality system.

  • The benefit to users lies in simplicity of operation. Phil Waterhouse, business development manager for education at Crestron UK, says: “Some of the partnerships are working very well; it means installing and programming is not as difficult. Crestron and Panopto, for example, have a partnership that means a simple-to-use interface is readily available
  • “Collaboration enables solutions in which the sum greatly exceeds the parts. Universities and colleges of higher education are obliged to provide text transcripts of videos for hearing-impaired students. Automated search features are also essential, allowing students to quickly access specific parts of a lecture. Students will only use a small section of a lecture during revision so it is essential that they can reach the relevant part quickly, without having to scan the whole video. Traditionally, preparation of captions involves people listening to the soundtrack and typing. Advanced speech-to-text software automates this process, reducing the cost of production massively – from around $1 per minute to less than two cents.”
  • There is huge potential for the technology to be able to offer collaborative learning in a way that currently can’t be done due to video transmission latency and limited bandwidth. At the moment universities have successfully deployed lecture capture, storage and playback systems but in the future they are likely to move more towards distributed classrooms, huddle spaces, cross-campus collaboration and more interactivity between remote groups of students and teachers.

Beyond the Transcript: Three Benefits of Comprehensive Learner Records | EDUCAUSE - 1 views

  • An increasing number of colleges and universities have begun helping students view the variety of their educational experiences in a new way—through a comprehensive learner record (CLR) that documents both academic and co-curricular learning.
  • From a financial-return perspective, research from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce found that workers who hold a bachelor's degree earn 31% more than those with an associate's degree and 84% more than those with only a high school diploma.
  • Some institutions have begun helping students view the variety of their learning experiences in a new way: through a comprehensive learner record (CLR).
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The CLR is a digital record that institutions can use to document academic and co-curricular learning. Resources such as co-curricular transcripts, digital badges, and e-portfolios are CLR examples that showcase a range of campus activities including service, leadership, cultural competence, and other learning opportunities for students. These types of engagements, some of which could be labeled as high-impact practices, help students develop skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and communication, all of which benefit them in both classroom and real-world situations.
  • In addition to spurring collaboration, the CLR is a meaningful mechanism for connecting data that are sometimes less integrated. For example, the University of South Carolina's Beyond the Classroom Matters project has a co-curricular transcript component, which the institution uses to gather data about students' level of engagement. Professionals from the offices of the registrar, student affairs, and academic affairs worked together to establish a catalog of approximately 150 co-curricular engagements for which students can enroll. As students complete activities, the university displays those experiences in the CLR. The university also connects institutional data to CLR data in order to monitor students' progress and identify positive outcomes.
  • the most important benefit of CLRs is that they enable students to narrate the full range of their knowledge, skills, and abilities. As students prepare for life after college, it will be important for them to answer the simple question: What did you learn? Students who possess a CLR will have had many opportunities to reflect on the variety of experiences they've had and respond in ways that clearly articulate an integrated experience.

  • “The flip model of learning offers a considerable cost saving opportunity to learners as well as educational institutions. Many institutions are using LMS to facilitate the delivery of content to the users. Although end-users have to make substantial upfront investment in the required infrastructure such as adequate Internet bandwidth, the long-term benefits of flipped learning considerably outweigh that of traditional classroom teaching and training,”
  • Global flipped classroom market by product Software 54.89% Hardware 33.54% Services 11.56%
  • The global flipped classroom market by hardware was valued at USD 165.9 million in 2015. The hardware segment comprises devices such as document cameras and tablets that are required to create, capture, and access learning content. These devices are finding more acceptance in schools and colleges. Lecture capture is used to facilitate learning for both students and teachers and helps in recording and delivering lectures in multiple formats including text and video. Vendors are equipping hardware with advanced features for lecture capture such as high-resolution video and display to improve quality. The devices used to facilitate lecture recording include microphones, cameras, screen capture devices, desktop recorders, DVD players, electronic whiteboards, and videoconferencing devices.

Lecture capture takes a leap forward in higher education - 0 views

  • Higher education institutions are increasingly using lecture capture to help their students, according to a 2018 State of Video in Education report from Kaltura. There was a 21% increase in lecture capture use by institutions over the last two years, up from 65% in 2016 to 79% this year. Lecture capture doesn’t just take place in standard lecture halls too, with 10% of all those responding saying they already capture over half of all classes, wherever they take place, and 31% keen to follow their lead. Overall, 88% of respondents across higher education and K-12 (primary/secondary schools) already use lecture capture tools or intend to in the future.
  • The use of video by students for assignments is on the rise, at 69% this year, up from 59% in 2017. Video feedback on student assignments is also growing and is now used by more than a third of institutions (35%) – up from 27% last year – perhaps due to the growth in remote learning.
  • Closed captions are in use at over half (52%) of institutions today, while 34% use interactive video quizzes to help students learn more effectively. Mobile apps that make it easy for students to watch videos on the move, or offline, are used by 39% of institutions, and a further 53% are eager to add this capability.
