Record in the Classroom
All classrooms have the "Classroom" version of the Echo360 Universal Capture software installed. This capture software can record the display of the instructor's PC, plus a webcam if available in the room. To record the room's document camera, you can use an installed program ("Samsung USB Viewer" for Samsung doc cams, or "Ladibug" for Lumens doc cams) to display the image on your computer screen, which then can be recorded by the Echo360 software.
The following classrooms have Echo360 recording appliances, which can record any image displayed on the projector closest to the instructor's desk, including the document camera or a personal laptop brought into the room:
- CSP 200, 300, 400
- Sleith 105, 107, 108, 111, 301
Email edtech@wne.edu if you're interested in using Echo360 in a classroom that's not currently equipped.
