A. Introduction

Academics can use personal capture to record videos and publish them on the respective VLE area from anywhere on or off campus with an internet connection. Using personal capture you can record your voice, screen and/or a video feed to create short information videos or full lectures.

After completing the recording, and the recording is successfully uploaded online, you can proceed with editing the video, if necessary. Subsequently, you can then make the video accessible for your students through the VLE.

Personal capture can be employed for different scenarios, most commonly being the following:

Class preparation – Recordings related to different topics covered during lectures can be

prepared to aid students when revising.

Feedback – Feedback can be provided to students in audio or video format, which saves a

significant amount of time, offers a more manageable feedback workload, and most importantly

presents better explanation to the students.

Note:

The University of Malta is using the Panopto video platform to service the Lecture Capture personal capture and automated classroom capture.
