CourseCast supports a wide range of recording scenarios - from traditional lecture venues, meetings or events to desktop, dual camera or web-cam recordings. In addition to dramatically simplifying the capture process, CourseCast automatically manages the downstream encoding, indexing and streaming so that presenters can focus on presenting and viewers can focus on learning.
What follows is a small sample of the many possible lecture, meeting and presentation capture scenarios. While production values range greatly (we generally do not have much control over that!), what all of these examples showcase is the minimum effort required to become operational with CourseCast and to begin projecting your institution's knowledge.
