On the 16th June 2011, Queen Mary hosted the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) conference on Lecture Capture – Doing it well and at scale. The event was well attended and there were a variety of interesting and thought provoking presentations. A review of the day has now been published in the ALT online newsletter. Also, recordings of the presentations are available through the ALT lecture capture event web page.
