In this newsletter dedicated to the course recording system, you will find a summary of practical information to ensure that the live broadcasting of your courses runs smoothly. We would also like to draw your attention to a form to be filled in by this Friday or next Monday for optimal preparation of the recordings and live broadcasts of the courses you will be giving in the rooms equipped with the type A and B recording system.
The Unicom, IT and CSE teams have been working all summer to set up the new infrastructure for capturing lessons (type A and B rooms). The tests carried out this week are conclusive to launch the live broadcast of the lessons in these different rooms on a large scale. We are now one of the Swiss universities best equipped with a system for the live broadcasting of lectures.
As with any recent infrastructure, however, we are not immune to setbacks. The infrastructure will be under heavy load for the first time next week, and it is not impossible that certain malfunctions will occur. If you encounter any difficulties in broadcasting your teaching you can contact elearning@unil.ch or 021 692 63 18. The helpdesk team will monitor the live broadcast in real time to make sure that everything is running smoothly.
We recommend that you have a back-up solution in place so that you are not caught off guard should a problem arise. The simplest solution is to create a Zoom room in advance and put the link to this room in the Moodle area of your teaching (see Guide for recording with Zoom)
Request for recording of your lessons (type A and B rooms)
In order to prepare the recordings and live broadcasts of the lectures given in the rooms set aside for type A and B recordings, please complete the following form for each of your lessons that require it by Friday 11 September 2020 at 12.00 noon (if your lesson takes place on Monday) or by noon on Monday for the other lessons of the week.
This form is intended to allow us to encode the recording and live broadcasting of your lessons. Please complete it for each of your different courses.
Recording and streaming guidebooks
In order to guide you in recording your lessons, you will find three resources below:
You can find these guides on this page.
Loan of microphones (type C rooms)
