Scaling Lecture Capture Without Breaking the Budget
Thursday, July 16 | 1-2p ET

Lecture capture is becoming an essential expectation – but scaling it campus-wide can quickly strain budgets. This interactive panel explores practical, cost-conscious strategies for implementing and expanding lecture capture without sacrificing quality, reliability, or faculty adoption.

Panelists will share experience-based approaches to platform selection, room standardization, workflow automation, and support models that keep costs under control. Through open discussion, attendees will learn how institutions of all sizes balance faculty expectations, resources, and long-term scalability while maximizing return on investment. Ideal for teams looking to grow lecture capture programs thoughtfully, sustainably, and affordably.
