In semester 1 of the 2017/18 academic year we will be testing a type of ‘on air’ light with our lecture capture system. The functionality has been developed by Paul Pettit at Keele University. The idea is to provide both staff and students with a clear form of feedback to show when a recording is in progress and an example of the light working can be seen here. The light will be rolled out to all CTS rooms in the Roscoe and Renold buildings and a feedback form will be circulated to teaching staff using those locations to assess its impact.
The product we are using is a Blinkstick light and the code developed by Paul can be found on Github.
