The EchoSystem
  |
The time from end of capture to full audience sampling is about five minutes. Before a student can leave class and walk to a computer, we've simultaneously webcast it, podcast it, and cast [the contents] to Blackboard."

Learning Redefined
Create learning on-demand with the EchoSystem. It's the industry-leading platform that automatically, affordably, and reliably captures class lectures and converts them into podcasts, video, rich media, and more for anytime, anywhere playback.
Its built-in automation and integration capabilities make EchoSystem easily scalable from one room to the entire campus. Create new possibilities, expand curriculum, and enable students to learn as they live—online, in contact, and on demand.
Capture
- Capture from a variety of classroom sources. The EchoSystem works with existing audio-video technology and hardware.
- Set the capture schedule for an entire semester with just one operation at the beginning of the term.
- Scheduling APIs enable smooth integration with university scheduling systems.
- From a central interface or room control system, staff can manually stop, start, reschedule or add captures.
- Faculty add an “on-demand” benefit to their classes with virtually no training or additional work.
Publish
- Lectures post to existing course management systems alongside other course materials.
- Hands-off file management means no need to manually modify or upload web pages.
- Open APIs allow for integration with custom portals.
- Advanced audio and video encoding standards ensure highest quality media, with file sizes and compression optimized to flow through typical university networks.
View and Listen
- Students can learn as they live—on line and on demand.
- Podcasts, rich media, animations and more play back on computers, phones, iPods, or MP3s players.
- Word for word, image for image, class content can be reviewed and repeated.
- The student has full control.
- Closed captioning ensures access for the hearing impaired.
EchoSystem
- One unit schedules all captures and triggers the process of capture, packaging and publishing across an entire university.
- System is easily monitored centrally or by remote for high assurance of lecture capture.
