In 2018 eLearning will be launching a brand-new version of Otago Capture. This version of Otago Capture has significant advantages over the current version. Some key improvements are:
• Presenter Mode: Capture can be used to deliver your lecture, with students following along in real time, asking questions, and sending notifications if they find anything confusing.
• Note Taking: Students can now take notes directly within Capture when watching the recording (or when using Presenter Mode), these notes are tied to the context they were taken (i.e. the time of the video, or the specific slide), and can be revisited for effective revision.
• Improved Analytics: Analytics are now more specific. Instructors can see how many students followed along during a given lecture, watched the recordings, took notes, and so on.
• Technical improvements: This version of Otago Capture does not use the outdated Flash software, instead it uses HTML5 to display the recordings and slides, which allows for full compatibility with modern browsers, and superior security.
These are just some of the features. There will be more features announced as the year continues.
We’ll also be holding some seminars demonstrating the new system in the coming weeks. Use the eLearning Seminars page to find out when the demonstrations will be run.
