Talk Videos

The following videos were made using a newly-installed lecture capture system “Recap”. The links are to Exeter’s Recap website, which displays the talks with video and audio as well as the slides themselves. As with any new system there were some issues, particularly with the talks on Tuesday morning, where the video camera didn’t capture the speaker. Unfortunately a couple of talks were cut short due to timing issues. Nonetheless we think that the videos form a useful record of the meeting. Enjoy!
