Echo 360 is a system for scheduled automatic recording of lectures. At LSE, the Echo360 service automatically records lectures for them to be made available to students online via Moodle.
-
In lecture theatres video of the speaker, audio and visual materials are recorded.
-
In classrooms, audio of speaker and visual materials (slides etc) are recorded.
-
Personal/Universal capture allows you to make recordings from your office or at home, and publish them via LSE’s lecture recording system. You can record your voice, whatever is on your PC screen and webcam video.
Once your recordings are ready you can add them to your Moodle page, see our lecture recording guide.
See which teaching rooms are lecture recording enabled.
Read the official Echo360 Accessibility Statement.
Please note: from September 2022 LSE will operate an opt-out policy for lecture recording. That means all lectures timetabled in rooms with a lecture recording facility will automatically be recorded unless a teacher has opted out prior to the lecture taking place. Please check our Scheduling your Lecture Recording Preferences page.
