About
Aston Replay lets staff record teaching sessions, or flip the classroom to record content to distribute to students in advance. Students can then search and replay sections to enhance understanding and review for revision purposes.

How do I use it?
View sessions
The simplest way is to look in the Blackboard course for your module. If you see a link named Aston Replay or Recorded Lectures you’ll find your sessions there.
Get more out of Aston Replay by logging into replay.aston.ac.uk where you’ll be able to search for text across all of your sessions, and bookmark points in a session to refer back to.
Create sessions
Before you do anything, you’ll need to provision your Blackboard course. This sets you up with somewhere to record to.
If you want to record something that isn’t a teaching session in a module, eg an event, then email replay@aston.ac.uk and we’ll create somewhere for you.
Where can I get help?
Students
Your first point of contact should be your lecturer.
