FOR THOSE ABOUT TO CAPTURE (WE SALUTE YOU) Jun 14-15 2007 SUNY Technology Conference. Fox School of Business and Temple University are leaders in systems innovation and integration benefiting pedagogy and learning outcomes, a fact recognized in Princeton Review rankings of TU as 15th most connected college in America. Repeated recognition yields record numbers of very bright students to Fox programs, particularly in MBA and Undergraduate Honors/Research Scholars programs. The Fox School has invested since 2003 in rich-media classroom capture using Apreso Classroom. TUCAPTURE records 100% of every class meeting for immediate email/web/podcast and delivery to our Blackboard system.  User satisfaction is off the charts, with 80% reporting better learning and 73% reporting better teaching with TUCAPTURE. Since 2003, Fox School of Business surveyed more 12,000 student and faculty users of TUCAPTURE who consistently ranked “handwriting from presenter” as higher value than video, podcasting, or other possible features. Armed with user data, the Fox team designed new systems to easily and cheaply add handwriting annotation to TUCAPTURE. In online surveys of students and faculty, Fox School implicitly promised to review, adjust, and improve the TUCAPTURE system.  While students are the direct beneficiary of these changes, Fox soon discovered that Tablet PCs could serve also as standalone capture devices for faculty, staff, and students, offering full mobility, built-in handwriting annotation, plus important “feature parity” with classroom-based capture systems.
