Lectopia
Description:
Lectopia is a Lecture Recording system fitted in large lecture theatres (those with a capacity above 200 students) across UQ's four main campuses to empower more flexible modes of teaching and learning. With Lectopia both audio and screen content on the data projector (e.g. Power Point slides) are recorded and processed automatically. This recording can then be made available in BlackBoard in a variety of media formats. This makes it easy to review content covered in traditional face-to-face lectures using a PC, Mac or portable audio device.
