• A pilot of Echo360 (lecture capture software) has been running throughout the last academic term and a CAP seminar was held in July. A new updated system will be shortly deployed to replace the existing kit in the Marconi Lecture Theatre and additional systems have been approved in the budget; so further lecture capture stations can be implemented within the University.
