The University of Queensland successfully completed a pilot of the Lecture Theatre Recording Solution in three lecture theatres at St Lucia in the month of October. During these lectures a combination of screen and audio were captured and the results published into Blackboard as part of the course material. Comments from student pilot participants included:

"The Lecture recordings (Math1051) are excellent!"

"Attending lectures is better, but this is such a great backup."
