Today’s students are intimately connected to the latest technology and gadgets and use them constantly. Their familiarity, combined with an innate and intuitive ability to control it, means that not only do they use video and audio communication for their own social communication but expect it to be present in all aspects of their lives. This expectation extends to the provision of learning services, particularly at higher levels; with the current high cost of educational services, prospective students demand sophisticated and effective use of technology at universities to elevate their education experience. They choose their university on a number of factors, with technology and modern teaching methodologies rating highly in that decision. Universities that fail to meet their expectations are ignored as students vote with their feet and select another establishment.

The process of recording classes and other live sessions, generally referred to as lecture capture, features highly on the lists of students’ criteria during that assessment. While still a relatively young technology compared with others in the AV world, it has rapidly gained acceptance in the academic sector, proving its ability to aid the educational process and rapidly penetrating the industry

Early reticence to deploy and use lecture capture systems has largely abated. Fears that students would skip lectures if there were to be a recording available online later, and lecturers’ concerns over job security once their classes had been recorded, were generally unfounded. Instead the system has stimulated new methods of teaching, including that of ‘flipping’,

Hype and expectations for AI are now sky high

on one hand the hype is far ahead of the reality; on the other, the upside could be much bigger than we think. And in HR the opportunity for value is massive.

The systems can understand speech, identify photos, and use pattern matching to pick up signals about mood, honesty, and even personality. These algorithms are not “intuitive” like human beings, but they are fast, so they can analyze millions of pieces of information in seconds and quickly correlate them against patterns.

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 analysts forecast global flip classroom market to grow at a CAGR of 37.47% during the period 2016-2020. One trend to watch for is the advances in lecture capture technology. Vendors are improving the features and functionalities of lecture capture technology to popularize it in classrooms. With the help of this technology, video lectures can be created in HD quality by combining inputs from live cameras and computer screens. These lectures are interactive, as they include options like touchscreen, tagging, and content editing.

Flipped learning is a hybrid model that combines aspects of traditional learning and blended learning. This model encourages students to take technology-aided lectures outside of the classroom through videos and simulations. Lessons taken in advance by students allow the classroom time to be allocated for group activities and handling subject related queries, resulting in enhanced student performance. Educational institutions are deploying flipped learning models by installing lecture capture solutions and delivery solutions such as LMSs (learning management systems).

The flip classroom market [http://www.sandlerresearch.org/global-flip-classroom-market-2016-2020.html ] is divided into the following segments based on geography: APAC, Europe, North America and ROW. Key players in the global flip classroom market: Adobe Systems, Cisco Systems, D2L, Echo360, and Panopto. Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: Aptara, Articulate, City & Guilds Group, Creston Electronics, Dell, Haiku Learning, MediaCore, N2N Services, OpenEye, Saba Software, Schoology, and TechSmith

While investment to date is on track for a slight decline from last year, deal activity in HR tech has grown consistently in the last 5 years and at the current rate is expected to increase more than 15 percent over 2015. This amazing investment growth—much of it spent on integrated human resource management system (HRMS) platforms for midsize companies—illustrates the industry’s volatility. That instability is being driven by the shift from cloud to mobile; the explosion in analytics and artificial intelligence; and the emergence of video, social recruiting and wearables in the workplace. Everything is changing, and quickly—including the types of technology HR professionals use, the experiences those systems deliver and the underlying software designs—making many of the traditional HR systems purchased only a decade ago seem out of date.

VidTel and Vaddio have partnered to provide a cloud-based videoconferencing platform and equipment that allows the user to participate from a variety of systems and devices. VidTel's MeetMe uses Vaddio's EasyUSB tools.

Many think learning content management system (LCMS) is just a fancy term for learning management system (LMS). This isn’t necessarily true. They do share some basic functionality, but a LCMS includes something that puts it in a league of its own: the ability to author and manage content. Content is something a LMS just simply cannot do.

Modern LCMSs manage every aspect of the learning process, both informal and formal, from rapid authoring to delivery. The system can be used to develop collaborative content with design templates, reuse content nuggets across courses and learning departments, import content from other authoring tools, and publish the content across multiple outputs and devices.

Voici à peine quelques années, les plateformes LMS (Learning Management System) étaient essentiellement dédiées au support de la formation distancielle : assemblage des parcours e-learning, diffusion massive et adaptation locale auprès de vastes populations d'apprenants, contrôle et reporting sur le suivi des parcours e-learning par les apprenants (notamment : temps passés et notes aux évaluations).

Tout dispositif de formation qui veut capitaliser sur les usages du Web et des smartphones devra toujours plus compter avec la vidéo. Ça tombe bien : les plateformes de video learning arrivent ! Capture, enregistrement, tagging automatique par la reconnaissance (voix, image), édition, diffusion sur tout périphérique… des plateformes séduisantes.

Le Social Learning d'abord… ou Video Social Learning (VSL) si on veut, et la montée en puissance du video-coaching ! Expérientiel aussi, comme les exemples plus haut le montrent. Quant aux usages de la vidéo en présentiel, ils n’ont rien de nouveau (Cf. par exemple les jeux de rôle filmés dans le cadre des formations commerciales à l’entretien de vente, depuis des décennies).

Autres fonctionnalités en pointe : enregistrement, édition, partage des videos, etc. Sans oublier l’accès à des catalogues déjà existants. Le tout dans l’environnement de l’apprenant et du formateur, qui offre des outils de prise de vue et d’enregistrement provenant aussi bien du smartphone ou d’une caméra portable que d’un studio vidéo (pour des formations structurées, à l'instar de ce qu'on trouve dans les MOOC). C’est ce que proposent les nouvelles plateformes (intégrées) de vidéo, aussi dites « video management system» ou « video content management system », à l'instar de Panopto ou, d’une certaine façon, de Workday Learning (mais on attend d’en savoir plus). Coexistence avec les plateformes LMS ? A suivre.

Que la vidéo soit efficiente, simple à produire « à la demande », facile d’accès, économe des coûts de l’entreprise, on n’en doute pas. Qu’elle soit au cœur de toute stratégie 70:20:10, on commence à s'en aviser. Le Social Learning d'abord… ou Video Social Learning (VSL) si on veut, et la montée en puissance du video-coaching !

A l’instar du e-learning, la vidéo est un moyen privilégié de travailler sur les messages à retenir, d’en assurer l’homogénéité. Le contenu lui-même ? C’est peut-être le plus important : mieux vaut une courte vidéo qu’un long manuel ou mode d’emploi pour expliquer (par exemple) un geste ou une manipulation

Plasticité de la vidéo qui pourra être utilisée dans les domaines les plus étendus : l’intégration des nouveaux collaborateurs, la capitalisation des savoir-faire les plus difficiles à capturer, la formation des vendeurs, du SAV et des clients aux produits et services lancés par l’entreprise, la formation des opérateurs industriels, les formations de compliance (hygiène, sécurité, compliance métiers, etc?)… 

The global eLearning market was worth an impressive $107 billion in 2015 [1]. By 2025, however, Research and Markets believe that it will reach a staggering total market value of $325 billion [1]. The reasons for this explosion in value come on the back of several main drivers: the need to educate vast numbers of people at low cost, the falling price of learning solutions, the needs of the modern workforce to engage in life-long learning, and the fact that learning through an internet portal is often more convenient than going to school. The majority of the growth in the eLearning market will come from demand in developing countries.

edX’s newest partner, the University of Texas System, has more pragmatic ambitions. It wants to use them to get more students through college more quickly and for less money.

“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 has attracted a good deal of hostility recently. One article in Times Higher Education reported reservations from academics about the effect that recording lectures for online viewing could have on student participation and attendance (“University of Huddersfield gives tutorial filming plan green light”, News, 5 July). Another article aired worries that editing recorded lectures might eat into academics’ time, and that they may be used by management to assess performance, or by students to expose staff to ridicule (“Disability cuts lead to universal lecture capture policy”, 28 July). My own experience has led me to a very different view. Early this year, after more students enrolled on my ethics and society course than our school’s largest lecture theatre could hold, arrangements were made to live-stream the lectures into an overflow room. Because the capture system also recorded the lectures, we decided to post them on the course’s online learning platform and see what happened. The results were very positive.

48 per cent of respondents said that the recordings greatly enhanced their learning, with 94 per cent acknowledging some positive impact.

on average, each student viewed the library of 31 lectures 14 times, for a total duration of five hours. Lectures were watched for an average of 22 minutes, indicating selective use rather than passive reception.

When it comes to the use of video in education, the over-riding theme — as we might expect — is more, more, more

58 percent of colleges are running flipped classes, up from 50 percent last year. Lecture capture has grown by five percentage points to 77 percent and webcasting has gone up by four percentage points to 51 percent over the same period.

In K-12, 87 percent of schools are using video in the classroom, compared to 86 percent in higher ed

"Lecture capture in general is becoming very quickly an expectation of students," said Chris Edwards, assistant vice president at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio

"Lecture capture in general is becoming very quickly an expectation of students," said Chris Edwards, assistant vice president at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio.

We are seeing an uptick in both use of lecture capture, need for lecture capture, and also video content creation by faculty outside the lecture hall,"
