Originally presented October 1, 2020
Since Spring 2017 NCC faculty and staff have been creating educational audio/video content with Echo360. Recordings are stored in the Active Learning Platform (ALP) and distributed via integration with Blackboard for courses or via web link for other mediums.
Instructors will find Echo360 easy to use and a great option for improving student learning and success. The ALP provides many valuable features including analytics, polling, and engagement tools.
Below you will find documents to help you get started with Echo360 in your Blackboard courses.

UniversalCapture (UCAP) is a stand-alone recording application designed to be used by instructors to generate captures (Echoes). UCAP is installed on classroom instructor’s stations and can be installed on personal computers (via download from Echo system after login) and faculty office computers (via HelpDesk request) for video creation outside of the classroom environment.
