The Poorvu Center collaborates with faculty and instructors to create high-quality media for learners at Yale and around the world. By collaborating with our teams, faculty can be confident their content will be delivered effectively, creatively, and in line with institutional values. We manage several recording sites across campus:
Share your idea with our production experts.
Recording lectures supports student learning by enabling review, improving accessibility, and extending your reach beyond the classroom. Instructors can choose from automated lecture capture, self-recorded sessions, or camera-operated recordings—each offering different levels of convenience and quality. Whether you’re using built-in classroom technology or working with our team for professionally operated recordings, the result is clear video, crisp audio, and content that’s ready to share via Canvas or the web.
Our dedicated recording spaces allow faculty to extend their scholarship beyond the classroom. Whether you’re introducing a course, explaining a concept, or leading an entire online module, our team provides the technical support so you can focus on your message. For added convenience, we offer tools like a TelePrompter and on-site guidance to help direct your delivery and ensure a quality performance.
Filming on location can offer a compelling alternative to classroom or studio recordings when the setting adds meaning or depth. Yale’s campus—with its iconic architecture, inspiring libraries, and vibrant academic spaces—can serve as a powerful backdrop that reinforces your message. Field production is a carefully considered approach that adds dimension and authenticity when the environment enhances the story you’re telling.
Whether you’re recording a podcast, narrating a video, or participating in an external interview, the Podcast Studio offers a quiet, high-quality setup with technical support to ensure your ideas are captured with precision. From voiceovers to long-form conversations, your audio-only content is in good hands.
