Abstract

There are several ways to make computing accessible to everyone, such as providing teaching material in text and videos formats. In particular, the recording lectures and talks with the aim of making the corresponding content available (as a video or multimedia document), is a common activity in many locations world-wide. Two common approaches used to recording such events are using a studio or instrumenting a conventional classroom with cameras and microphones so as to record the activity in-place. In this paper we study the influence that the use of these two environments may have in the recording process. We report on a case study with 27 participants which recorded short academic talks in the two scenarios and also discuss how the environment affected their behavior. Understanding such influences may inform the design of infrastructures aimed at supporting the authoring of interactive multimedia documents from live experiences.
