Frequently Asked Questions

天堂视频 is striving to deliver an excellent lecture capture system; a system where the process is both seamless for staff, and intuitive for students. Creating and delivering this system has involved academic staff and students from a range of Schools across the University, and it is a journey that is still on-going. 

ReVIEW is 天堂视频’s lecture capture system. It allows your Lecturer to record a teaching session and make the recording available for students to view online through the Learn module homepage.

There are a number of reasons you may want to access ReVIEW recordings. Below are some suggestions:

  • to revisit difficult concepts and digest at your own pace
  • to assist with notetaking after the lecture so you can focus more on what your Lecturer is saying
  • as a study aid for revision
  • as an additional support aid if you have particular educational needs or do not speak English as your first language

You will find recordings within the relevant module in Learn.

If you are a disabled student with special permission to access recordings, you will be contacted directly with instructions on how to access recordings. 

See the section 'Play, Pause and Rewind'.

There may be circumstances where content is shared in a lecture which may make it unsuitable to publish the recording, for example where sensitive information is divulged or where students have requested that their contributions are not made openly available.

If a lecturer has chosen not to publish a recording they will advise you and make equivalent academic content available (lecture notes, slides, etc.).

All lectures which take place in centrally timetabled rooms are recorded and held within the ReVIEW system. However, some teaching events may not be considered suitable for publishing on Learn.

There may be special circumstances where it is considered fair and appropriate to enable limited access to unpublished recordings. For example, to students with disabilities, long term conditions, or specific learning difficulties. In these situations, a recording can be released to individuals on a case by case basis and the owner of the recording will be notified.

You can watch ReVIEW recordings on your phone or tablet by downloading the relevant .

No. The recordings are for your own personal use only. You are not permitted to share them outside of the Learn platform without the express permission of the member of staff who made the recording.

Recorded teaching events will normally be published to the students 24 hours after an event has ended.

No. ReVIEW is provided as a tool to supplement your learning, and not as a replacement for attending teaching sessions. 

Usually whatever is shown on the screen during the lecture, the lecturer's voice, and anything shown on a visualiser.

If you don't want your contribution to feature on the published recording, please express your wish before speaking so that your lecturer can pause the recording. A pause in recording is indicated by the light on the podium turning amber.

The speaker can request the removal of recordings at any time; however we do advise staff to inform their students if they find it necessary to remove a recording.

This is at the discretion of the lecturer and depends on the availability of recording facilities. The lecturer will be made aware of the failed recording.

Report the problem to the Teaching Support team at review@lboro.ac.uk with details of the problem and which recording you were watching.

Students should not make recordings of teaching sessions on personal devices without prior express permissions from the member of staff involved.
