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.
Academic posters are a visual form of communicating academic research, projects or literature reviews that often combine elements of text, diagrams and other media to convey ideas as effectively as possible. They have traditionally been used in hard science disciplines (such as medicine, physics or biology), but producing academic posters is becoming increasingly common within social sciences and arts and humanities disciplines as well. Academic posters are usually presented at conferences, exhibitions or networking events and you may be expected to accompany the poster to discuss your work, answer questions and provide additional information. You may also be required to produce a poster for assessment of a module.
Academic posters (about 1-2 hours).
