The global HMI market in the automotive industry was valued at USD 388.3 million in 2015. These investments are anticipated to expand the market for automation solutions, including HMI solutions that monitor continuous flow of information related to plant operations and processes. In addition, the rising purchasing power of the middle class in developing countries, such as India and China, may lead to the establishment of new automotive plants in these nations. These factors will cast a positive influence on the automation systems market during the forecast period.

But with most recordings being released via a virtual learning environment, access can be restricted to students doing a particular course in a particular year.

Lecture recordings are an excellent resource for international students grappling with concepts in another language and students with disabilities who may struggle to keep pace. Our students reported that it is nice to have more time to listen to what is being said without frantically trying to write it all down. Many lecture capture systems have ‘hot spot’ metrics that staff can use to discover which portions of a lecture have been reviewed repeatedly. This can indicate concepts that students are struggling with and can enable staff to modify their approach to that concept in future years or provide additional support as necessary. Lecture capture could be used for other applications such as student presentations, demonstrating procedures, providing recordings to support lecture flipping and more. The technology is well established, but our use and how we encourage our students to use it is not. This is an opportunity for innovation when developing our teaching.

A moyen terme, des mécanismes de réputation et de diffusion de l’information rendront visibles les excellents enseignants et leur nombre d’étudiants en ligne augmentera. Inversement, les piètres enseignants seront identifiés et leur nombre d’étudiants diminuera. Les taux d’inscription aux MOOC constituent une information publique accessible à tous sur la qualité des enseignants.

Les MOOC vont modifier le marché du travail des professeurs. Les universités pourront, avant de les recruter, évaluer les qualités pédagogiques des professeurs en visualisant leurs cours et en comparant leur nombre d’inscrits. Le recrutement des meilleurs enseignants permettra aux universités de justifier des frais de scolarité plus élevés.

This allows them to concentrate on the delivered speech rather than on note-taking, and has greatly improved understanding. Lecture capture systems are often used in preparing the recordings to be used in lecture flipping

“The market is becoming mature, not necessarily in terms of current installations but certainly with the numbers of universities that have a plan in place to roll out capture to all rooms. Many universities have a policy of recording all lessons and lectures and it is being implemented widely. Some universities automatically schedule recordings along with the lecture timetable

The use of video capture solutions to record classes as well as enable lecturers to create their own supplemental videos requires robust technology.

The lecture capture system should be automated, allowing faculty or campus IT staff the ability to easily schedule recordings. A lecturer may also want to record a video prior to class in an empty classroom or right from the comfort of his or her home or office.

“The success of lecture capture is influenced by the user experience of the student and also by the user experience of the teacher,” points out Robert de Jong, director of product marketing EMEA at Vaddio.

Handling many simultaneous camera feeds on a network can also present problems. “Some universities are starting to install IP cameras as they are fast coming down in price,” says Mark Rogers, product manager, Datapath

Lecture capture is almost becoming a victim of its own success,” continues Lipps. “Students nowadays are demanding it in all their classes and will often stop a lecturer to point out if the system is not recording. The result is that it is becoming an essential piece of equipment in all active lecture rooms. A large university may have 500 rooms but it is not economically viable to put top-of-the-range equipment in all of them. However with the right video platform, there will be hardware and software capture options that make sure lecture capture can be included in as many classrooms as possible.”

A vast quantity of information is now widely available online. With more than 4.7bn web pages to choose from, hundreds of new videos uploaded to YouTube every minute of the day, a wide choice of social networks and millions of apps to download, access to information, experts and tools has never been easier. Much of this information is streamed directly to your pocket 24/7 thanks to the mobile phone. Finding relevant and accurate information is far less simple. Nowadays, the challenge is finding the right information at the right time. Professors have to enhance their students’ skills around the critical analysis of online content, tools and expertise.  The student demographic is also evolving, with so-called ‘digital natives’ proliferating within Business Schools, but there is a tremendous need for all employees to become lifelong learners.

Moreover, e-learning platforms are evolving into adaptive learning platforms so that content can be adapted automatically, thanks to algorithms and data, which can set the pace of the learning to suit the abilities and preferences of the learners. This could be the end of the ‘one-best-way’ approach to higher education. In short, it is impossible for us to continue teaching in the way we have done for decades

VR is a great tool for enhancing the learning experience.

With this technology, we aim to achieve three key improvements around learning:  1. Faster learning: the use of VR speeds up the learning process. Students are more engaged and involved in the case studies, and this means that they pick up the marketing concepts linked to the business case more quickly. 2. More memorable learning: students are likely to be positively influenced by this innovative and novel style of teaching. Its effects will therefore last longer and they stand to remember key concepts more clearly. 3. More complete learning: students experience the world in its full complexity and in a ‘natural non-linear’ way: they enhance their critical-thinking skills and creativity, thanks to shorter feedback loops around the experience itself during class.

At NEOMA, we are lucky to have faculty rules that recognise the value of innovation in teaching. Without such rules, innovation would be unlikely to take root.
