Lecture Capture System
Important Information about ReCap Bookings during Summer 2012
During Summer 2012 the ReCap service will be updated in order to provide increased functionality and an improved user experience for both staff and students. As a result of the work that will be undertaken to provide these improvements it will not be possible to make any ReCap recordings in the 60 enabled venues between 21st May and 23rd September (13th August in Medical Sciences venues).
If you have any questions or have an event during this period that you wish to record please contact recap@ncl.ac.uk and a member of the ReCap team will be able to advise you on potential alternative methods of recording.

ReCap is a lecture and event-recording service available at Newcastle University.
It allows audio and visual material, including the lecturer's voice, presentation slides and visualised documents, to be recorded and published online in an automated, easy-to-use process.
Newcastle University staff can find information on ReCap and how to use it on this site.
Students can review lectures, helping them better understand complex topics and assisting their revision for exams.
This is particularly helpful for students with dyslexia, and for non-native English speakers.
Disseminating lectures post-class allows lecturers to reinforce particular points.
By analysing their own lectures, academics can continuously improve teaching performance
There are currently 60 ReCap-enabled venues across the University.
Over 9,500 recordings are available on ReCap, with over 560,000 viewings.
