10. Co-operation
The Estonian e-University consortium
The Estonian e-VET consortium
All together 44 schools in Estonia

11. Setting up a country-wide
lecture capture solution
the Estonian way ;)

12. Looking back on
how it all started:
• August 2008 – 3 schools testing “the new
thing”
• 2009 – all the main universities in Estonia
adapted lecture capture to their workflow
• 2011 – applied science universities joined
forces to start using lecture capture

13. Today
• 5300+ lectures recorded and published…

14. Today
• 5300+ lectures recorded and published…
• …with only 25 classrooms equipped with the solution (some
of them are mobile units)

15. Today
• 5300+ lectures recorded and published…
• …with only 25 classrooms equipped with the solution (some
of them are mobile units)
• 281 000+ views

16. Today
• 5300+ lectures recorded and published…
• …with only 25 classrooms equipped with the solution (some
of them are mobile units)
• 281 000+ views
• 147+ hours captured every week

17. Today
• 5300+ lectures recorded and published…
• …with only 25 classrooms equipped with the solution (some
of them are mobile units)
• 281 000+ views
• 147+ hours captured every week
• 14 universities and applied science universities using the
same solution

18. Today
• 5300+ lectures recorded and published…
• …with only 25 classrooms equipped with the solution (some
of them are mobile units)
• 281 000+ views
• 147+ hours captured every week
• 14 universities and applied science universities using the
same solution
• about 50 000+ students

19. Our solution
Echo360

20. Most used features
Viewing the EchoPlayer version of captures
Hardware capture
Editing of recorded lectures

21. Just the beginning

22. 8 new schools
this year

23. Vocational schools
are on the horizon…

24. Live streaming

25. Echo360 and LectureTools
together will
probably create
“the next big
thing in education”

27. Academic acceptance

28. Academic acceptance
Step-by-step approach
First the innovative teachers lead the way and
others will follow ;)
Students feedback – teachers need to know
that capturing lectures is really needed
Simple tools to help the teachers

30. Cost management

31. Cost management
Together is easier
Joint license acquisition
Lower the adaptation-curve

32. Thank you
