Overview
The Information Technology Services department at UIS provides two options for lecture capture systems to be used campus-wide – Camtasia Relay and Echo 360. Both systems allow you to record whatever is displayed on the computer screen along with your audio and video.
- Camtasia Relay: Camtasia Relay is a lecture capture tool that allows users to record whatever is displayed on the computer screen along with their audio. Camtasia Relay can be downloaded at no cost to UIS faculty and staff. After downloading Camtasia Relay, users can begin recording! All that is needed is a microphone, and then users are able to begin capturing their screen and recording their own audio. After the presentation is complete, it can be published and then shared with others. Camtasia Relay videos can be posted on Blackboard, blogs, websites and more.
- Echo360: Echo 360 automatically or manually captures, manages, and publishes class lectures while integrating with existing teaching technologies.
Echo 360 allows users to record a lecture along with whatever is displayed on the computer screen, thus providing students with a powerful tool for review, to further supplement material covered in class, or to provide instruction that is entirely web-based. Students are able to fast-forward, rewind, or skip to particular segments. The captures can be viewed via an Internet browser, through iTunes, or downloaded to an MP3 player.
