Wow it has been a an entire since the birth of UELconnect, time does indeed fly. So to celebrate this milestone we hosted an event over in Knowledge Dock to present what we had been up and also a have a series station dotted about the room. The presentations were all very informative and it is certainly useful to hear the academic viewpoints. Use of facebook in AVA, ConnectingUEL in Law and so forth. My main duty of the day as it were was to present on the Panopto Lecture Capture system. Below is the presentation that I gave with Mat Tinker (Mat did most of the presentation), I just added the badly spelt parts!
Seemed to be quite a lost of interest in the idea of lecture capture from the various folk that I spoke to. It did however highlight the fact that this does need to be supported institutionally. As much as I would like to run around the University with lots of kit it’s not really practical. Although it probably would help me to shed that excess Christmas weight that is lingering! Also my zero documentation working practice is probably not a brilliant idea, but you can’t do everything. Like most tech focussed people I share the adversion for writing anything down. So all in all there were lots of useful chats with regard to lecture capture and if nothing else it raised awareness N.B. that I did actualy spell this correctly this time.
On a less positive note it was the UEL football tournament on the same day. Sadly we did not qualify! Perhaps next year.
