How to record using Lectopia
The Lectopia system is easy to use and requires no changes from normal recording of a lecture. If
you are in a venue which is set up for Lectopia, you simply need to turn on your microphone.
The steps in the process of recording lectures are shown below:
If you want to lecture in a non-wired venue, AVS can provide a portable recorder. You will be given
assistance with the portable recorder the first time you give a lecture.
How to listen to Lectopia recordings
Demonstration
Lectopia can be accessed as shown below. You will need to inform students how they can access the
Lectopia recordings for your unit.
Click on the Lectopia Staff Tool link to open the Recording List. Select the recording by date. You
have the option to use either QuickTime, Windows Player or MP3. If you are using a Macintosh computer,
try QuickTime. If you are using a Windows machine, try Windows Player. Select the appropriate bandwidth
from the drop down menu next to the media player your computer supports. Click open.
When the play window appears, first read the copyright notice then click 'continue' and use the controls.
If you want to listen to a later part of the lecture or go back to an earlier part, you can use the
slider. You will need to allow Lectopia a little time to move to the part you need.
If your lecture has PowerPoint slides, you will need to use the arrows and links to move between slides
because the presentation is not automatically synchronised.
Student access to recordings
If you have an online unit, you can add a link to Lectopia on the home page. You can link to all recordings
for a unit or a single recording.
A link to Lectopia recordings is added to students' MyUnits page.
Lectopia Staff Tool
The Staff Tool lists your units with Lectopia recordings, allows you to access the list of recorded
lectures for each unit and lets you provide additional information for students, such as a title, an
outline or a PowerPoint file.
Unit Coordinators and tutors use their Murdoch username and password to access the Lectopia Staff
Tool.
