Rich lecture captures in addition to video recording of a lecturer and the desktop include contextually synchronized:
- lecturer's notes (ASCII),
- additional web (HTML) content
- links to additional materials,
- FAQs,
- Quizzes.
LeCTo users can:
- skip to any chapter (slide) via automatically generated table of content
- jump to a location in the lecture related to any word (index) contained in the lecture
- or continuously seek to any time point in video recording.
LeCTo recorder is a simple free tool for recording (one or many) cameras and the desktop.
Lecturer can prepare his presentation in PowerPoint.
A plug-in for PowerPoint can be used to contextually add links, web pages, quizzes and FAQs to the presentation.
Slide titles and slide transition times during presentation are automatically used to generate table of content to be used for random access to any chapter (slide) of presentation.
LeCTo content is generated in three simple steps:
- START recording,
- STOP recording,
- PUBLISH LeCTo recording.
You can, however, create LeCTo recordings with any other video files you've already created (.mp4 or .flv formats are supported), and supplement them with additional materials you create. All you have to do is upload your files to any web location and configure the location in this textual file that will serve as the key for running your LECTO lecture.
Anywhere on the web. In fact, LeCTo recording consists of a number of files: each containing one type of content: video, text, links, … and each of the files can be in a different place on the web.
A special type of file, the .PSU file contains information on web locations of individual files, their size and position on the screen etc.
Yes. Anybody can modify any of non-video files/windows or add their own. In addition, new .PSU files can be created containing various combinations of additional content for the same video recording. .PSU files themselves can be published anywhere on the web, as well.
Just send them .PSU file, its URL or the link >>http://lecto-player.lss.hr/lectureLink.php?uri=http://your_PSU's_URL<<.
We believe:
- good lectures should be preserved for broad audience and for the future,
- lectures can be great material for learning if supplemented with appropriate additional content,
- everybody should be able to record their lectures in such a format,
- others should be able to modify additional content and prepare recording for various purposes.
The goals of LeCTo are to enable:
- creating LeCTo recording without any specialized technical knowledge,
- recording both lecturer and everything he shows on The desktop, possibly other cameras (showing experiments, audience, …)
- publishing parts of LeCTo content anywhere on the web, in different locations,
- modifying and rearranging additional content for different uses.
LeCTo was created in Laboratory for Systems and Signals at the Department for Electronic Systems and Signal Processing at Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing of University of Zagreb as the result of 12 years of experimenting in recording lectures and as a successor of Pyramidia project.
