What challenge are we trying to address?
• Enhancing student engagement and learning, especially in large classes
• Reducing cost to students• Clicker use declining (with no replacement)• MTCU Ancillary fee policy• Class sizes increasing• Trying to increase quantity & quality of distance
and hybrid courses– Positioning ourselves to take advantage of the OOI
funding & MTCU directions

Automated and Intelligent Workflow for Lecture Capturing
Record, Produce, Manage and Publish Instructional Media
Slide Adapted from Echo360, 2013
![Page 20: Echo360 and Lecture Tools: Piloting a student engagement platform for UWindsor Nick Baker Acting Director, Office of Open Learning OUCC Conference 28 April,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551765395503460e6e8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Processing videos
• Internal HDD on Appliances for temporary local storage; PC HDD
• Push to ESS and Media Server via SFTP for processing
• Raw files stored on server, processed to ‘Echoes’– Raw = 60% of storage; delete these after 30 days &
keep Echoes• Processing time = real time + small % • Processed in order received by server
![Page 21: Echo360 and Lecture Tools: Piloting a student engagement platform for UWindsor Nick Baker Acting Director, Office of Open Learning OUCC Conference 28 April,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551765395503460e6e8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Publishing videos
• Either released/published automatically or released manually by instructor– Instructor can edit multiple times until raw files
deleted (non-destructive editing)– Multiple formats for same recording can be
published• Publish to LMS and EchoCentre• Can make recording publically available• Can publish to other locations e.g. iTunesU,
RSS, webportal
![Page 22: Echo360 and Lecture Tools: Piloting a student engagement platform for UWindsor Nick Baker Acting Director, Office of Open Learning OUCC Conference 28 April,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551765395503460e6e8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Viewing recordings• Access through LMS or EchoCentre
– LDAP (requires Active Directory for full functionality), CAS, Shibboleth, Trusted System authentication
• Access on PC, Mac, iOS, Android, tablet/phone (app or browser)
• HTML5 interface

![Page 24: Echo360 and Lecture Tools: Piloting a student engagement platform for UWindsor Nick Baker Acting Director, Office of Open Learning OUCC Conference 28 April,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551765395503460e6e8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Scheduling recordings
• Schedule recordings based on – Term, Course, Section, Instructor– Campus, building, room
• Automatically schedule with integration to SIS (and/or other enterprise systems)– Start automatically at scheduled time
(appliance), or after log in (software)• ‘Opt out’ at the moment• Ad Hoc
![Page 25: Echo360 and Lecture Tools: Piloting a student engagement platform for UWindsor Nick Baker Acting Director, Office of Open Learning OUCC Conference 28 April,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551765395503460e6e8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Other considerations
• Can brand recordings automatically with institutional look and feel
• Can brand at the faculty or department level
• System Admins can change almost anything without additional assistance from Echo360
• 24/7/365 support from Echo

Developments coming in Echo360/Lecture Tools
• Android App• Integration with Echo360 as a single
student engagement platform• Improved analytics
![Page 40: Echo360 and Lecture Tools: Piloting a student engagement platform for UWindsor Nick Baker Acting Director, Office of Open Learning OUCC Conference 28 April,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551765395503460e6e8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Next steps
• Installation in classrooms over summer• Personal Capture rollout• Lecture Tools trial in selected large
classes• Integrate with systems (LMS, SIS, etc)
![Page 41: Echo360 and Lecture Tools: Piloting a student engagement platform for UWindsor Nick Baker Acting Director, Office of Open Learning OUCC Conference 28 April,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551765395503460e6e8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Challenges & Considerations
• Time restrictions on spending money• Large project team• Room AV setups different across campus
– Different reqs for appliance and software• Integration with existing systems (LMS,
SIS, HR) and level of integration• Ongoing administration
![Page 42: Echo360 and Lecture Tools: Piloting a student engagement platform for UWindsor Nick Baker Acting Director, Office of Open Learning OUCC Conference 28 April,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551765395503460e6e8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Unexpected outcomes
• Increased deep collaboration across units• AV upgrades• AV inventory• New ways of managing AV in classrooms• Policy review and development in a range
of areas (e.g. security, archiving, copyright, appropriate use of IT, IP, course mode definitions etc.)
![Page 43: Echo360 and Lecture Tools: Piloting a student engagement platform for UWindsor Nick Baker Acting Director, Office of Open Learning OUCC Conference 28 April,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551765395503460e6e8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Going beyond one-off development• Encourage development of new coherent
credentialing programmes– Attract new students– Allow more current students to graduate/succeed
• Significant redevelopment of existing courses to DE/hybrid mode
• Redeveloping courses that are significant blockers for existing students
What are we trying to achieve?
![Page 44: Echo360 and Lecture Tools: Piloting a student engagement platform for UWindsor Nick Baker Acting Director, Office of Open Learning OUCC Conference 28 April,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551765395503460e6e8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Mainstreaming DE/Online/Flexible/Hybrid learning and teaching
• Building capacity in faculty, enabling new practices
• Sustainable offerings and practices• Increasing quality in DE & blended offerings • Improved reputation• Providing more flexible options for all
UWindsor students (and instructors!)
What is the end game?
![Page 45: Echo360 and Lecture Tools: Piloting a student engagement platform for UWindsor Nick Baker Acting Director, Office of Open Learning OUCC Conference 28 April,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551765395503460e6e8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Summary
• Very simple to use, varying levels of automation possible
• Expected high value return• Lot of work, but worth it• Need strong AV engineering, server,
firewall/security teams• Evaluation of outcomes longer term project• Expect to see change over 2-3 years
