Echo 360 Lecture Capture
Echo 360’s digital tools extend classroom instruction to students around-the-clock. Echo devices enable the capture of the content on a classroom’s podium computer, classroom microphone, and in some instances, a classroom’s ceiling camera. The resulting captures can be viewed in a variety of ways from audio only to streaming. Most commonly students download the capture as an MP4 video.
