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…
• …with only 25 classrooms equipped with the solution (some of
them are mobile units)
• 281 000+ views
• 147+ hours captured every week
• 2 servers in different parts of the country
• 14 universities and applied science universities using the same
solution
• About 50 000+ students

14. Our solution
Echo360

15. Why Echo360?
Truly focused on education
Hardware appliances
Complete package
Chance?
…

16. Most used features
Hardware capture
Editing
Viewing the EchoPlayer version of captures

17. Just the beginning

18. 8 new schools
this year

19. Vocational schools
are on the horizon…

20. Live streaming

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

23. Academic acceptance

24. 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

26. Cost management

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

28. Thank you
Lets talk…
