Lecture Capture (2.1.4)

Lecture Capture refers to any technology that allows teachers to record their class lectures and make it available digitally.  It includes many different devices and software.  This can be as simple as recording a lesson with an iPod; or a more complex system that also includes cursor movement, typing and on-screen activity throughout the lecture.

How would the resource function in the online classroom?
This would be a vital resource to have in an online classroom.  Teachers can provide lessons with explanations that accompany the visuals.  I recently completed my master's degree online.  Many of my teachers used Livescribe software, which is a specific type of lecture capture.  This allowed me to see the math problem worked out and explained through the software.  I think this allows students to be more engaged and understand the concepts at a deeper level.   

How would the integration of Lecture Capture modify teaching methods?
I think it provides teachers the opportunity to explain concepts more efficiently.  Lecture Capture also gives students a more in-depth explanation so they can be held responsible for their learning.  Lastly, I think it helps address areas of concern when students are falling behind.  If there is an area that needs to be addressed as a class, the teacher can work an example problem using Lecture Capture to address these issues at one time.
