 
AV & IT GUIDANCE FOR LECTURE VENUES
Replay is an opt-in, automated lecture recording service at Oxford University which runs on a cloud-based instantiation of commercial software called Panopto. The service is centrally managed but the day-to-day recording activity in lecture rooms is devolved to local departmental AV and IT support teams. The Panopto recording software can be installed on Mac, PC or tablet, will record a combination of audio, slides and videos sources, and deliver the recording to the students immediately after the lecture.
Key features:
Academics can easily record their teaching sessions.
Students registered on the course can then access the recordings via the central virtual learning environment (VLE) (WebLearn) under Oxford single-signon authentication. A student can search and replay part of the lecture to reinforce their understanding of concepts and revise for examination purposes.
Recordings can be triggered remotely over the network and therefore suites of rooms in a department can be monitored and controlled from a central point.
Recording sessions can be timetabled within the software so an academic does not need to initiate the start of the recording or change their lecturing behaviour.
In designing AV infrastructure for automatic lecture capture, it is helpful to group rooms into two categories: small seminar rooms and larger lecture rooms. In both cases, the software automatically synchronises all the inputs so that the viewer has a seamless experience later when viewing the recording.
