Campus Technology had an article about CourseCast, a free lecture capture system that grew out of a project at Carnegie Mellon - see http://www.campustechnology.com/articles/60310
Has anyone looked into this? (Also see Panopto and Socrates Project at http://www.panopto.com/)
I'm just wondering because we have more and more faculty interested in this kind of tool, and I've been surprised by the kind of interest students have been showing in accessing captured lectures.
