What is Echo 360?

 

The Echo 360 Classroom is a special setup in certain classrooms on campus that enable professors to record their classroom lectures and automatically upload them into Blackboard or iTunesU. The Echo 360 Classroom setup captures 3 things in the classroom; It records the activity on the computer screen, a microphone records the professor's voice as they lecture, and a video camera records the front of the classroom where the professor is standing.

The image above shows an example of what the end product looks like. Students click a link inside their professor's Blackboard course and then Internet Explorer will load and they can watch the lecture recording. The only thing the student needs to have to watch the recorded lectures is Internet Explorer. And the only thing the professor needs to do is simply walk into the classroom and teach like they always do. No technical expertise is needed by the professor, and there is no technical setup that the professor needs to do before the recording starts. It starts and stops automatically.

 

The Echo 360 Classroom setup is located in Gooch 228, Gooch 207, EPS 317, Brehm 258, Business Admin 220, Business Admin 36, and the ITC Lab.
