Lecture Capture at MSU

What is it?

"Lecture Capture is an umbrella term describing any technology that allows instructors to record what happens in their classrooms and make it available digitally. The term is used to describe a wide array of software, system capabilities, and hardware options. In its simplest form, lecture capture might be an audio recording made with an iPod. Alternatively, the term might refer to a software capture program, such as TechSmith's Camtasia Relay, that records cursor movement, typing, and other on-screen activity for demonstration purposes with an audio voiceover."
