Students

• Can review the lecture, or part of a lecture, afterwards, or in preparation for assessments
• With disabilities can review the lectures; note takers don’t need to be actually in the class at the same time as the lecture
• Distributed (in time or distance) learners can listen to lecture or session to augment other modes of content distribution and participation
• Can catch up on a lecture they missed. Students can optimize the use of their time.

Instructors

• Avoid having to go over material for students that weren’t at the lecture
• Can critique their own classroom technique by reviewing the capture lectures
• Can include recorded lecture elements in a teaching portfolio
• Can re-use content at their discretion—subsequent classes can view a special lecture that can’t be recreated; due to an instructor illness or absence, a similar lecture might be used from a previous class;
• Record a guest lecturer for future use.
• The service is very easy to use for instructors.  The technology incorporates some things instructors are already doing—use a wireless microphone and the computer to display content. Once scheduled, recording is automatic. Release of captured lectures to students can be automatic as well.
• Access to Help services.
• Access to sample recordings, best practices, and documentation.
• Supported integration with other IT systems on campus including PAWS, and Blackboard.
