New Engage interface in large lecture theatres
During the summer of 2019, Echo360 made some changes to the Engage lecture recording service with the introduction of a new user interface called Universal Capture. This user interface has now been installed in the large lecture theatres.
We have communicated directly with those who are scheduled to be teaching during Semester 2 in one of these large lecture theatres with the updated Echo360 interface, and offered the training sessions listed below.
While the changes are relatively simple, we do advise that colleagues check the Engage facility, familiarise themselves with the new interface and check out rooms prior to teaching.
Learn how to use the new interface
You can learn more about how to use Universal Capture by watching the screencast ‘Recording with Universal Capture’, below.
