All FAQs (Helpie FAQ)

Why is Collegerama so happy with it? Collegerama has been recording lectures on Campus since 2004. Since the start, users of Collegerama have asked us to somehow make the laser pointer of lecturers visible in our recordings. This is almost impossible to do, for technical and practical reasons. Collegerama captures the presentation slides digitally and since the Logitech Spotlight is a software based pointer, it will show both in the lecture hall AND in the recording. This provides a much better recording since viewers can see what a lecturer is pointing at in his/her presentation Download Manual

To be able to record as many requests as possible, we made a priority protocol for recordings:

• Has the lecture been recorded in the last two years?
  If not, your request has priority
• How many recordings are being requested by your faculty?
  We try to find a balance between faculty requests
• How many lectures per week?
  For example: can we record your course when it is offered once a week? Can we record your course when it is offered three time a week?
• Is the location of the requested recording reachable for our recording trolley?
• Did we receive the recording request before the deadline for the upcoming lecture period?
  For each lecture period, we have set a date before which requests should be made. After this date, there will be limited options to make recording possible. Exceptions can be made for lecture halls where Collegerama has fixed recorders in place. Recordings which require student operators and mobile recording equipment depend on the availability of said assets.

Using this priority protocol, we hope we can facilitate as many requests as possible.

Note:
1) Data is retrieved from the TU Delft MyTimetable. If it is not yet available there, it cannot be requested yet. You can contact the scheduler for this.
**) It is always possible to make a request after the period. We will look at what is still possible on the basis of request after the date provided. This has to do with possible logistical and personnel deployment.

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.

We assume that the recording recorder can use a fixed network connection (wifi is not possible) in the lecture hall. If this is present, the recording will be online within 20 minutes after the lecture.

No fixed network during the lecture? The lectures will then be online within 2 working days. The recorder will then have to be connected to a different location to upload the recording. We try to implement this as soon as possible.

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

Copy the url and paste one of the commands seen below directly behind the url. You can choose a starting point at a specific time. You can also add a duration (the playback will stop after a chosen lenght of time)

NOTE:  Use milliseconds

• Playback starting point
  • URL -> ?playFrom=MILLISECONDE
• Playback Starting point + Duration
  • URL -> ?playFrom=MILLISECONDE&duration=MILLISECONDE

An annotation is similar to a comment in that it allows for conversation and discussion regarding a video presentation. However, it differs in the fact that it is tied directly to the timeline of the video.

Note:

1. This function is included in all recorded presentations from academic year 2019-2020.
   If you are interested in enabling this on older recordings, please let us know via our contact form.
2. The annotations are not private. Annotations are visible to logged in persons who view a presentation.

Download Tip & Tricks

Request within 3 days before the start of admission is not possible via the request 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.

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

To be able to use this, access to the recordings must first be given. The recordings will have to be given more rights to gain access. For this, a call will have to be made with the information below. This is only possible for employees with a TUDelft netID.

• Faculty
• Course code
• Academic year

It is possible to edit a recording of Collegerama. Editing of the recordings is only possible with the corresponding editor of the supplier. This has to do with the different inputs (camera, presentation, smartboard, audio) that must continue to run sync and so you can choose in the player which input you want to view large / small.

The following is possible:

Edit options:
– Trim front / back
– Remove small part
– Extract small part of presentation and upload again to new link

1) Adjustment Collegerama support
It is therefore necessary:
– Right link
– Right times
– What needs to be done

2) Adjust yourself as a teacher
For this we need to set some extra rights that make it possible. After that it is possible to make the adjustment in the online editor.

In both cases, please contact us via our contact form

First check before contact:

You are able to login to Brightspace, webmail?

Collegerama is connected via SurfConext (which is the gateway to all TU Delft platforms). Collegerama only checks your netid on the authentication server. If you can login to your webmail, you should also be able to login to Collegerama.

Is there an issue at TU Delft, you can check it here: http://meldingen-ict.tudelft.nl

Collegerama is seen as an online archive for video content for TU Delft; this will ensure that recordings will not be deleted. Recordings can be taken offline (and come online again) by request of the speaker/lecturer involved.

All recordings that we have put online since 2004 are still on our servers.

If you are lecturing in one of the lecture halls mentioned above, you should see this message (shown on the Extron panel which is positioned in the lectern) pop up 1 minute prior to the start of your lecture. You can click on the ‘X’ in the top right corner to regain control of system settings.

Due to the vulnerability, it is no longer allowed to perform a login session at another URL via an iframe. So logging into collegerama.tudelft.nl via an iframe is no longer possible with recorded web lectures with a course code. These are behind the TU Delft netID login.

For public/event recording it is possible to use an IFRAME where you do not need to log in.

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. More info about Copyright (TU Delft Library) More info about Editing my recorded lectures Collegerama
