Abstract

This paper describes our experiences with the first partial deployment of Presentations Automatically Organized from Lectures (PAOL), a lecture recording system developed and tested at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. PAOL automatically records all information presented during lectures using any combination of computer, whiteboard, and overhead presentation and compiles the captured lectures into indexed presentations. We discuss lessons learned from this deployment that have application in lecture recording specifically and classroom technology in general. We also discuss our initial evaluation of created presentations as determined by a small focus group study.
