Forensic-free AV surveillance audit podcasts for e-competence of academics and staff - repurposed traditional instructions for blended, distance and self-study e-learning to maximise lecture capture ROI

This study describes forensic-free Audio Video (AV) surveillance audit podcasts. Since the surveillance systems are typically funded for security reasons, any additional applications such as e-learning and training are of minimal additional expense. To facilitate this capability, it is a matter of 'splitting' the video cable of a surveillance camera and connecting it into the instructor's computer. Administrators and students can then monitor the quality of lecturers and academic staff at their own time and pace. For example, subscribers can view and participate in a lecture from their cellphone from a remote physical location. An instructor can repurpose the videos of such a lecture - from the traditional stand-up instructions offline, into blended, remote and self-study e-learning online and with Computer Assisted Instructions (CAI). This study illustrates how videos of academic courses recorded for undergraduate, graduate students practicing professionals and alumni can be repurposed for Continuing Professional Education (CPE).
