Lecturecast recording lights trial

As part of the wider Lecturecast project, ISD are trialling lecture recording indicator lights in the following seven centrally bookable rooms across campus:

1. Darwin Building B40 LT
2. 1-19 Torrington Place, room 113 (note: this is a cluster room)
3. Roberts Building 106
4. 14-16 Taviton Street, room 433
5. Chandler House G10
6. IOE – Bedford Way (20) – 101 – Logan Hall room 101
7. Medawar Building G02 Watson LT room G02

In each space, an indicator light will be mounted on the podium desk.  It will indicate the status of the Lecturecast recording.

What do the colours mean?

GREEN	SOLID RED	FLASHING YELLOW	FLASHING RED
There is no scheduled recording taking place/Stand- By	Recording	Paused	Faulted/Disconnected
The Lecturecast unit is idle and ready to begin recording	The Lecturecast unit is recording	The recording is paused	The Lecturecast unit is faulty/disconnected

If there is a problem with the recording, the light will flash red.  In such cases, it allows staff to contact ISD to remedy the problem as it happens, potentially reducing the risk of a lecture not being recorded.
In addition to indicating the status of the recording, the lights can be used to pause and resume a recording during a lecture.  Many Lecturecast users need to edit their recordings to remove conversations had during breaks so having these lights may remove the need to do this.  Refer to the in theatre How-To-Guide for instructions on how to do this.   The how-to-guide will be installed in the seven teaching spaces listed above.Functionality

During this trial, if you have any feedback or comments, please complete our survey:

Depending on the outcome of the pilot, recording lights may be rolled out to other Lecturecast enabled rooms at UCL.

We expect the installations to be completed by the end of the week beginning 21^st May.

Please email digi-ed@ucl.ac.uk if you have any questions.
