The rooms equipped with Mediasite recording equipment have now been outfitted with Audience Response Microphones so you no longer need to repeat questions for your distance listeners and class discussions can be part of your recording. One caveat to remember as soon as the recording starts all conversations are recorded i.e., as students walk in and get settled, conversations at break time and at the end of class will be recorded unless you press the PAUSE button on the Crestron Unit or shut down the system.
Please consider adding a caution about this in the syllabus for any course that you record in the future.
Arrivederci!
