Can I download a recording?2021-10-25T13:06:02+02:00

It is NOT possible to download a recording

​​​​​​​Collegerama records lectures with a double/triple video stream; making a reasonably strong internet connection essential.

The application also ensures that all incoming inputs (video, presentation, digital smartboard and audio) continue to sync. If an adjustment is made in the supplied editor of the application, all sources will be removed from the adjusted point at the point of editing, to let everything show in sync.

We don’t record at high resolutions, but our stream is already significant. Lowering resolutions to allow smooth playback on poor Wi-Fi is not an option for us; slides would become unreadable, as would handwriting on black/whiteboards.

Due to the above download is not possible.

Is it possible to make a Collegerama recording in any room?2020-04-06T15:39:20+02:00

No,

At the moment we have set up a number of lecture halls that have been drawn up according to the guidelines Covid-19. Based on the request, it will be determined in which room the lecture will be taken. We try to facilitate the teacher as much as possible to the facilities that he / she provided with the application.

We do try to use the rooms as much as possible with digital means to record them better than analogues.

Playback issues in Edge browser after installing Windows 10 Creators Update2020-04-11T12:09:28+02:00

Knowledge Base Supplier: June, 6, 2017

Issue

After installing the Windows 10 Creators Update, Edge browser does not play Mediasite content where Flash is required.

Solution

Microsoft is restricting Flash in the Creators update. When Edge blocks Flash content it should display a warning with the option to “Allow once” or “Always allow” Flash on the current site. If you wish to override this behavior navigate to Menu > Settings > View Advanced Settings. Toggle “Use Adobe Flash Player” from Off to On.

Recording request students2019-01-17T14:58:44+01:00

Requests for recording weblecture(s) is only possible by the teacher/employee. Students can not send a request.

Request (live)recording within 3 days2022-09-07T14:57:34+02:00

Request within 3 days before the start of admission is not possible via the application application. For a very late request, we will first have to look at the capacity to see what is still possible.

If a lecture series wants to be recorded, it can be requested and we can be contacted to see if it is still possible to add it to the series when the rest of the series is being processed.

Request Education Q42020-04-02T14:57:26+02:00

Update: 2 April:

The new education period 4 starts on April 20, 2020. At this moment we are preparing how we will work this period. On April 7, 2020, we will send all course managers (who are known via Brightspace) an email about the possibilities we can offer.

Because there is no official announcement yet for the upcoming teaching period 4, we request that you still apply for the application in the normal way. If other reports are made public in the coming weeks, we will review our working method.

What is what is the delay of the livestream compared to the main hall2022-09-07T15:08:40+02:00

Between the main hall and the viewer there is a delay of about 30 seconds.

What kind of network connection do I need to view a presentation properly2020-05-15T11:49:49+02:00

The constant connection must be at least 3mbps to view.

Collegerama must have a fixed network connection of 3mbps in order to view the recording properly. The platform is not set up like YouTube, which is a flat video and the bandwidth is constantly monitored and the correct video is chosen to play it properly. Collegerama works with several videos (speaker, presentation and, for example, smartboard), which are all available separately, so that the viewer can choose which video the big / small one wants to have on the screen.
If we offer multiple bandwidths (which is possible, it only costs much more storage), then a number of functionalities such as – at the moment – accelerated playback, which will benefit the students, will lapse. We try to give 95% of the students the guarantee to view recordings. Even though we find it very annoying for the students who experience this problem.

It is very difficult for us to determine where exactly the problem lies, because there can be so many issues after the network exit of TU Delft. In addition, we see no problems with the ICT networks department in the Collegerama server park, which is monitored 24/7.

Where will my recording take place?2020-04-06T15:44:03+02:00

Collegerama will decide, given on your desired recording facilities, which room is best suitable both for you as well as us.

Which video extension can I upload?2020-05-06T10:42:38+02:00

In the article below from the supplier you can find which video formats can be uploaded.

For fast processing, an .mp4; H264 the fastest option without the video yet to be transcoded.

Why has my request from period q4 been canceled?2020-04-07T20:17:38+02:00

Because we now facilitate our service in a centralized manner, we have set up a number of rooms on campus. This means that we do not have to cross the entire campus with all our systems. It is now also not possible to provide education in all rooms and buildings are also closed. We also still use ordinary personnel (SA’s) to facilitate the admissions.
In the planning application it is not possible to adjust the location of the lecture and we do not want to put this work down with the faculty-schedulers to have it all changed. We also expect that not all applications will go through. We have also adjusted the times because lectures now simply take longer with admission without students and in order to facilitate more. We already noticed that 80% is being canceled and have therefore opted for this service. It is as required by the protocol to have as few personnel as possible. It would be a shame if we let staff come continuously, without a lecture taking place.

Why other time period than teaching hours2020-04-06T13:27:07+02:00

We want to be able to make as many recordings as possible for the teacher who wants to. We have noticed that admission takes less time than a regular lecture. The recording time now per lecture is between 60-80 minutes. As a result, we have made the blocks a bit shorter, so that we have the opportunity to realize one time block per day.
