What is Eco360 Universal Capture (UC)?
Echo360 Universal Capture is a simple stand-alone desktop application that allows you to make recordings from your office or home, and publish them via LSE’s lecture recording system. You can record your computer screen (e.g. a PowerPoint presentation or other materials) with audio narration, along with a webcam video (optional). It runs on both Windows and Mac.
Before you start
To be able to publish recordings to the Echo360 system, you need to be registered as an Instructor
If your timetabled lectures are already being recorded, you will already have an Echo360 account and will be registered as an Instructor.
If you are a Teacher or a Teacher (Editor) in a Moodle course, and that course has a link to lecture recordings, you can follow that link to become an Instructor in the corresponding Echo360 section.
If you want to create recordings for a different course or are not already registered as an instructor, contact eden.lecturerecording@lse.ac.uk and state the course to which you want to publish.
