Subject: Lectopia (iLecture) options in myUNSW Term Planning
Dear School staff,
Following recent discussions with Learning & Teaching three additional
Lectopia (iLecture) options have been added to the Resource Requirements
page in myUNSW Term Planning.
These new options are additional to the existing "Lectopia (iLecture)"
option used to request a Lectopia enabled venue as part of a timetabling
request.
The first two additional options are:
1. Lectopia (iLecture) enable Podcasting
2. Lectopia (iLecture) make Publically accessible
Where these options are selected in Term Planning we will pass the
information onto Lectopia support staff. We recognise it is late in the
Semester One 2009 Term Planning process, however, requests for these
options will continue to be accepted through the Lectopia Self Service
Wizard or by contacting the Service desk after the Term Planning deadline.
Please note that copyright issues are different between streamed and
downloadable content, and between privately accessible content (students
enrolled in relevant courses, or authorised cohorts only) and publically
accessible content.
If you are uncertain as to how individual academic staff members intend to
use Lectopia, it would be advisable not to select the Podcasting or
Publically accessible options. You should simply request a Lectopia
enabled venue. Lectopia recording defaults to Streaming (rather than
Podcasting) and Private (rather than Public).
Course convenors can later change requests to podcasting and/or publically
accessible through the Lectopia Self Service Wizard or by contacting the
Service Desk.
The other new option is:
3. Lectopia (iLecture) with Screen capture (limited availability)
Screen Capture (Video) recording has recently been installed in the CLB
theatres. As this service is currently limited to the CLB theatres only,
we will need to take into account demand and other constraints on the
timetable when scheduling classes which request this service. It may,
therefore, not be possible to accommodate all requests. There are plans
to install this service in additional theatres over time.
A reminder that Lectopia is now in 'Opt Out' mode. This means that if
classes are scheduled in a Lectopia enabled venue (regardless of whether
you specifically requested one), the classes will be scheduled for
recording automatically, unless the instructor 'opt's out'. Opting out of
recording for ALL current and future recordings, or for selected courses
only, is controlled via the Lectopia Self Service Wizard.
To assist with integration between myUNSW and Lectopia, it is important
that schools accurately maintain course/class teaching staff allocations
in myUNSW. This will become increasingly important as improved
integration between myUNSW and eLearning services is planned for the
future.
Enquiries regarding Lectopia should be directed to the Service Desk via
servicedesk@unsw.edu.au or ext. 51333
