Lecture Capture

Record • Instruct • Review

About the Technology

The lecture capture system automatically records the lectures for participating courses, and makes these lectures available online for students enrolled in that course. Each recording provides students access to:

  • Video of the instructor

  • Classroom projector display, whiteboard/chalkboard notes

  • Instructor audio

Each session recording is automatically uploaded to Media Gallery in NYU Brightspace.

Location of the Technology

Lecture capture service, Briteclass, is available in classrooms and spaces at NYU Tandon.

Briteclass equipped classrooms are managed by Media Services. These learning spaces can be found at 6 MetroTech Center (Rogers Hall and Jacobs Academic Building), and 5 MetroTech Center (Pfizer Auditorium).

For Instructors

Briteclass Classrooms

Any class scheduled in a lecture capture classroom or space in 6 MetroTech Center and 5 MetroTech Center will automatically be enrolled in the Briteclass lecture capture service. The system turns itself on and off automatically to capture participating courses.

No extra steps are required of participating faculty members beyond wearing a wireless microphone during class to record the lecture.

Instructions on the lecture capture program are provided to all instructors assigned to the lecture capture spaces.

Instructors who would prefer that their lectures not be recorded may opt out of the program by emailing SOE-lecturecapture@nyu.edu with a request to opt out.

For Students
