Inclusive Hybrid Learning Spaces (IHLS) is Newcastle University’s institutionally supported pilot for streaming lectures, conferences, and other learning events across various parts of the central campus. IHLS-enabled venues are traditional learning spaces which can additionally be used to support remote participation with clear lines of sight and sound between those presenting, those in the room, and those that are online.

NUIT Audio Visual Services manage and support the audio-visual systems in all centrally supported (common user) spaces.
NU Reflect is a system designed by the University to support students’ reflective learning, as well as offer the tools to support Personal Tutoring. Incorporating reflection in programmes and modules provides an effective way to support students to understand their own learning processes, and to develop their awareness of their own skills and abilities and evidence these, applying theoretical knowledge to real experiences and supporting employability.
NUVision Media Library is open to all staff at the university. The service converts uploaded videos and provides you with an easy method of embedding the content in services such as Canvas (VLE), Blogs etc. Any member of staff can use the video streaming service to deliver media for which they hold the copyright (or have the permission of the copyright holder to use).
There are many ways to connect and collaborate remotely at Newcastle University. You can use a technology-enabled venue, participate from your desk, or even connect from the comfort of your own home! Zoom and Microsoft Teams are available to all staff and students at the University to fulfil all your virtual meeting needs.

ReCap guidance
ReCap is Newcastle University’s institutionally supported lecture and event-recording service. It allows audio and visual material, including the presenters’ voice, presentation slides and visualised documents, to be recorded and published online in an automated, easy-to-use process. ReCap is used primarily to record live learning events. However it can also be used to record additional learning and teaching materials such as asynchronous teaching content, student feedback, pre- and post-lecture materials, public lectures and conferences.
There are a growing number of resources within the Library collections that include diverse materials to support teaching beyond the traditional books, e-books and journals. Resources that include video content licenced for use within lectures or embedding within Canvas, teacher notes, case studies, lab protocols and much more. All of these resources are designed for you to use within your teaching and provide alternative learning opportunities for students.
This guidance explains how to create and manage your reading lists and make resources available to your students.
This short course takes you through the accessibility laws we are subject to, and how and why to implement them. It includes guides on how to create and share content that is accessible to everybody.
