OKEMOS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TechSmith Corp., the world’s leading provider of screen capture and recording solutions, announced today that Wainhouse Research has published a white paper on how new affordable and flexible lecture capture solutions are driving adoption on college and university campuses.
The research findings outlined in The New Imperative for Lecture Capture Solutions in Higher Education demonstrate that products such as TechSmith’s Camtasia Relay lecture capture solution are needed to satisfy the expectations of a new generation of learners. Camtasia Relay affordably and effectively integrates with existing media servers and learning management systems at academic institutions of all sizes to facilitate knowledge sharing with students, customers, and peers, department-wide or campus-wide.
“Based on our survey of post secondary educational organizations, it is clear that lecture capture solutions now fall under the ‘need-to-have,’ not just ‘want-to-have’ technologies on campus,” said Alan Greenberg, senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse research. “In fact, lecture capture solutions have been accepted by faculty at 75% of those organizations surveyed, and four out of five respondents believe that lecture capture helps their schools compete for learners. The combination of expectations from digital natives entering higher education – and the value proposition offered by a platform that addresses both local and remote learner needs – is helping to drive very rapid adoption.“
Topics covered in the survey and analyzed in the white paper include attitudes toward lecture capture, the business and pedagogical benefits it provides, and how affordability and today’s educational imperatives are driving adoption. The white paper is available for download at www.wainhouse.com/whitepapers.
“With Camtasia Relay, we are providing universities, colleges, and organizations with a flexible and easy-to-use lecture and presentation capture solution to best meet their faculty, student, and organizational demands,” said Rich Boys, product manager for Camtasia Relay at TechSmith.
