Lecture Rescue · monthly

Send us your worst recording.

The echoing hall, the humming fan, the phone propped on the desk. Each month we rescue a few in public, show the before and after, and produce the whole lecture free.

How it works

You send the before. We make the after.

01

Send 30 to 90 seconds

A short excerpt of the raw recording is enough for us to judge it. Share it by link.

02

We pick one to three a month

We look for problems other teachers will recognise, not just the noisiest file.

03

Before and after, in public

The chosen recordings are shown on Lecture Studio Live, with your permission and your name if you want it.

04

Your whole lecture, produced

We produce the full lecture free, up to 30 minutes, and send it back to you to keep.

What we can rescue

The usual suspects.

Problem

Echo

Lecture halls and empty classrooms that make every word ring.

Problem

Fan, traffic or hum

Ceiling fans, air conditioning, generators and the road outside.

Problem

A dark room

A face lit by the screen, or a window behind the speaker.

Problem

A phone on the desk

Low angle, small voice, the top of a head.

Problem

Zoom or Teams compression

Blocky video and clipped audio from a recorded call.

Problem

No structure

Forty minutes without a break, a chapter or a summary.

Send a recording

Before you send it.

Lecture Rescue opens on 1 December. Until then, leave your email and we'll remind you.

  • It must be your recording, or you need your institution's permission.
  • Only the instructor should be identifiable: no students' faces or names.
  • We may trim, blur or leave out anything we shouldn't show.
  • Nothing is published until we've emailed you and you've agreed.

We use these details only for this programme and never share them.
