Lecture recordings for 15/16 & 16/17 were hosted on the old, locally hosted, Echo360 system. Unfortunately as of Easter 2019 these recordings will no longer be available as we are only permitted to keep the recordings for a two year period. Periodically we will remove any recordings older than two years at the end of each Easter break. If you wish to keep the recordings you can download and save them locally. For anymore information in relation to this please contact Eden.Lecturerecording@lse.ac.uk.

Our current license with Echo360 allows us to keep lectures for a four year period. Recordings will be deleted periodically at Easter of each year. Please download any recordings you wish to keep and store them locally.

1. Check if you are teaching in a room that has lecture recording facilities – see our https://lse.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LREG page for more details.
2. Check if you are listed as a lecturer for the course – see the LSE timetables page for details.
3. Check that your teaching is classed as a lecture. Seminars are not automatically scheduled for recording as they may contain contributions from students who have not given their consent to be recorded.

Inquiries about existing schedules or one-off recordings should be made to Eden.lecturerecording@lse.ac.uk.

If you are teaching in a recording enabled room but have not scheduled the recording, you can start an ad hoc recording by following the step by step guide Set up an Ad Hoc Recording . This option can be used to record seminars as long as you have obtained written consent from your students to be recorded.

The automatic settings for the room will determine what is recorded, by default we record everything. If you are using the Set up an Ad Hoc Recording then you will have the option to record audio only.

If you opt in for lecture recording you will be automatically be set up as an instructor on Echo360. You will receive an invitation from Echo360 to create an account but you do not need to set one up unless you want to carry out Use Echo360 Universal Capture Personal to record audio and video

If any of your timetabled lectures are being delivered by a guest lecturer from outside of LSE then, please contact Eden.lecturerecording@lse.ac.uk for advice on obtaining their consent.

our students won’t hear anything unless you use a microphone. In most rooms you can use the built-in microphone on the desktop, but in some you will need to use a radio microphone (provided in the room). In all cases, you have to make sure the microphone is plugged in and turned on.

A list of the microphone options for each room is on our main page. If you want to request a lapel mic or think that there is an issue with the podium mic please contact AV email: imt.av.support@lse.ac.uk, extension: 5300/5400 from any internal phone.

Please also note:

A podium mic has a range of approximately 2m from the mic, however the closer you are to the mic the better.

A lapel mic often has an on/off button, a mute button and also an indication of battery levels. Training can be provided at the start of the lecture (email imt.av.support@lse.ac.uk).

Boundary mics have a wider range, but sound quality isn’t as good as a podium mic when near the mic.

All safes have a digit access code. This is available by calling 5300/5400 from any internal phone including the one in the teaching room.

Lecture recordings can be viewed through Moodle. See our Add a Moodle link to lecture recordings (Echo 360 recordings) on how to set this up.
