Recording and transmission of courses

The recording of courses enables students to work through the course material independently of time and place and can support target groups such as foreign students, students with families or with work commitments in particular, or enable them to study. The aim is not to call face-to-face teaching into question, but rather to offer supplementary options for imparting knowledge. Video recordings are suitable as the basis for modern teaching concepts, such as the "inverted classroom" or "MOOCs", and can also only contain selected course content for this purpose.

Our team takes care of setting up and operating the recording technology as well as encoding and providing the recording on the video server. Together with the Center for University Didactics, we can advise you on the use of new teaching methods.

In a lecture recording, the presentation slides or the blackboard image and the video image of the lecturer are recorded. A table of contents is created for each recording. This makes it possible to select individual topics of the lecture directly. It is also possible to search for keywords in a recording. The presentation slides and the video image are played back in parallel. Examples can be found on the video server.

In lecture transmission, the lecture takes place at one location and is transmitted live to one or more other locations. By using high-quality video conferencing technology, the listeners in a remote lecture hall can ask or answer questions via microphone and thus participate in the event on an equal footing with the local listeners.

This scenario requires rooms in which the necessary technology is permanently installed, such as the Tannenhöhe multimedia lecture hall or the large physics lecture hall, as well as a compatible remote station.
