Recording in Lecture Rooms (Podcast)

We record lectures, series of events, or one-off events for you and provide you with a video management platform, SWITCHcast (based on Kaltura).

What is Being Recorded?

During a recording, the speakers are captured by default using a fixed camera shot, along with the presentation. The blackboard and the overhead projector are not recorded.

The recording is automatically converted for online viewing (no live streaming) and/or for download. You can publish your recording on a website, in an OLAT course, or via a direct link.

Example of a podcast: Informationstage - Psychologie

How Do We Record?

Recording quality is determined in terms of the most common usage, i.e. providing students with access to lectures after they took place.
The quality of the recording is tailored to the most common use case. Lectures are intended to be made available to students after the event.

How Do I Access My Recording?

From request to publication in six steps:

• Procedure: From request to publication

Notes:

• Technical issues: Despite all precautions, technical problems may occur. Please take this into account when preparing your lecture. We recommend providing students with additional learning materials (not just videos).
• Lecture materials: For copyright reasons, learning materials should be made available via the OLAT learning platform or a protected UZH website.
