Classroom Capture

What is Classroom Capture?

Classroom Capture is a scheduled recording service that captures the presenter through classroom cameras and microphones along with content displayed from a computer or other device. The completed recording is made available to your students through a Panopto folder in Canvas automatically.

Key Features

• Captures are scheduled to automatically record during the class block time (with an added five minute buffer at the beginning and end)
• Two sources can be captured simultaneously (i.e. Presenter/Board and PowerPoint)
• Legacy spaces, an AV control panel in the classroom provides presets and adjustment controls for the camera and content sources to be recorded. Watch the brief control overview video.
  • Fairchild Hall 101
  • Moore Hall B03, B13 (Filene Auditorium)
  • Steele Hall 006, 007
  • Wilder 104
• Recordings are uploaded automatically to the Panopto Folder in your Canvas course (If you have more questions about Panopto or the settings, please review the Panopto getting started resources)
• Recordings are typically available within 3-4 hours after the end of class, but may take up to 24 hours depending on the network and Panopto's server load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use Classroom Capture?
The main benefit of lecture recording or screen capture is vastly improved content access for students. Students can review lecture content whenever they choose: they can correct their notes, skip over familiar content, and review confusing sections multiple times. Knowing that a lecture recording will be made available has been shown to greatly reduce student anxiety during class, especially in content-heavy courses.

The students don't need the full recording, can you adjust the length?
There is not a quick way to adjust the recording schedule once created, but you can edit the recordings in Panopto to remove sections or trim the beginnings or end of the session.

Is the recording an instructional substitute for students that miss class?
It depends on your content, material, and class structure. Capturing the content of a presentation through recording is beneficial for students that miss class, but may be ill suited as a replacement without accompanying lesson content and materials.
