Media Hopper
Media Hopper Replay and Media Hopper Create are two separate systems.
Media Hopper Replay – Lecture capture
The University’s lecture recording service is called Media Hopper Replay. It is available in most of our largest teaching spaces and is being rolled out to smaller teaching rooms over the coming year. By the start of the 2019/20 academic year, it will be available in around 400 teaching spaces. Use Media Hopper Replay to record teaching sessions and publish the recordings for students to access via Learn the University’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
Best practice for students
Many people worry that students might misuse lecture recordings in a number of ways. These slides can help you address this – include them in the introductory lecture to your course, spending about 3 minutes on offering students some evidence-based suggestions on how best to use the lecture recordings.
Please feel free to modify the slides as you wish to suit your needs. Note also that they are designed to be modular, i.e. you can take out some of them without much damage to the rest.
