You typically assign the Academic Staff role to faculty, then apply one of the section roles to the faculty member when you add the faculty member's sections. Doing so allows Academic Staff to publish Personal Capture recordings and import external media (Media Import) for those sections.
In order to use PCAP and publish those recordings, Academic Staff must be licensed to use Personal Capture. Personal Capture users are also referred to as "Presenters".
Before you can make a person a Presenter, you must add them to EchoSystem as an Academic Staff user. You then give that Academic Staff user a Presenter role when you add their section. Presenter roles include Instructor, Student Presenter, Teaching Assistant, and Guest Presenter.
For licensing purposes, users only need to have the Academic Staff role assigned to their user account. They do not need to be a Presenter for a section or schedule in order to be licensed, however they do need to be associated with a section in order to publish recordings to a section. The licensing interface, however, refers to licensed users as "Presenters."
If you are licensing Presenters for Personal Capture, there are two options: site license or license packs. If you purchased a:
There are four ways to assign licenses to presenters.
To publish Personal Capture recordings or to import external media for a section, the Presenter must be assigned to the section with a section role, or assigned as a Presenter on a schedule for a section.
When you create a schedule for a section, you have the ability to assign a Presenter to that particular section schedule. This simply identifies who is typically presenting that particular instance of the section.
Presenters for schedules are not required to be the same people assigned section soles for the section, though typically they are. You may, for instance, have a one-time special event for a section where there is a Guest Presenter who is not necessarily assigned to that section.
The assignment of Presenter for a section schedule allows that user to upload media and Personal Capture recordings (if the user is licensed to use Personal Capture) to the ESS for that section. Presenters can be added when you create the schedule, or added later by editing an existing schedule, using the procedure below.
