After Lecture Capture guide

Once you have finished your teaching session with Lecture Capture, you can check and edit the recording. 

Lecture Capture recordings are scheduled with a 1-day delay before becoming available to students to allow for edits and checks.

If you haven't already connected your recordings to your Moodle module, set up the link. See Connect Lecture Capture to Moodle.

Once your recording has been live for a few weeks, you can use the analytics to check how students are engaging with Lecture Capture (see monitoring student engagement page of this guide).

If a lecture is cancelled or rescheduled and the Echo schedule was not updated, you have a recording of an empty room or potentially a meeting/conversation if someone has gone into the empty room to use it.

You will need to make the recording unavailable immediately after the scheduled lecture and you can log a request on IT Self Service Portal for the recording to be deleted.

Any staff member enrolled on the Moodle module can make the recording unavailable.

1. Login to the relevant Moodle module
2. Select the link to Lecture Capture from the Module dashboard. (On Grid format, open the Block drawer and navigate to the Activities block, select the link to External tools and then select the link to the Lecture Capture activity.)
3. Select the link to the relevant Lecture Capture from the list of Lecture Capture links available on your module.
4. Open the video menu to the right of the relevant recording and select Make Unavailable.
5. A confirmation box will display. Select OK.
6. The link will still remain and students will see a message that no content has been added yet if they click into the link.
7. The Lecture Capture owner can now request that the recording is deleted from Lecture Capture by logging a call on IT Self Service Portal.

It is good practice to check your recordings after your teaching session to ensure audio has been captured correctly.

IT check the Lecture Capture equipment regularly, but occasionally issues may arise on your recording.
