Automatic Lecture Capture Technology

Classroom Support Services' Automatic Lecture Capture Technology is a hardware solution for the capture, encoding and distribution of lectures and digital content. Classroom Support Services' Automatic Lecture Capture Technology conveys complex information and concepts by automatically recording an instructor's lecture and digital presentation. These elements are combined into a web-based presentation that students can view after class.

Technology installed in select classrooms can be scheduled to automatically capture classroom content, including anything displayed on the data projector. This technology is designed to automate the recording and delivery of classroom lectures and presentations. No instructor software or configuration is required.

Automatic Lecture Capture Technology allows instructors to focus on teaching while our hardware automatically records and posts digital content to the Web for enrolled students to view. This technology supports student learning by providing students with an opportunity to catch up on missed classes, review the day’s lecture material, and study for exams.
