Single Room View

Released in the summer of 2022, the new Single Room View (SRV) of LearningSpace Enterprise, also called NextGen Room View, features a much cleaner, easier-to-use user interface on both the Recording and Video Review pages, increasing efficiency and enhancing the user experience.

If your layout differs in Single Room View, you probably have the Legacy version. For the user guide of Legacy pages, please go here.

Important Note for Enterprise Lite Users

This feature is for use with in-campus audiovisual (AV) inputs. Hence, it is not available for LearningSpace Enterprise Lite, which is only used for web-conferencing-based virtual simulation encounters. To unlock this feature, please upgrade to the LearningSpace Enterprise solution.

Recording setup

In the new Recording setup pop-up, Activity, Case, and Participants (groups and individual users) can be selected for the recording from the respective dropdowns:




  • The Case selector becomes active only after the Activity is selected.

  • The learners- and SPs dropdowns will become active once the respective Groups have been selected.

Learner and SP groups can be added to a recording without an Activity or Case selected.

Selected participants appear 'disabled' (greyed out) in the Learners/SPs dropdowns.



Participants who have not been selected are active in the dropdown and thus can be selected.


Under 'Recording on', the selected cameras for recording are room-specific - not user-specific.

Room selection during Live recording

You can change between rooms with the help of the Room selector dropdown, even during live recording:


Different Ways of Recording Setup


Recording can be started with

  • with no Activity and/or Case selection.



  • Recording setup loaded from the last saved state,

  • Recording setup loaded from RNSA,

  • by loading the setup from Advanced Scheduling.


If the recording was automatically started by a scheduled event, data in the Recording setup is displayed based on the scheduled settings (related to the current timeslot), and the following message is displayed: "Recordings have been started by Scheduling with the following settings". These settings cannot be modified during the recording.

IMPORTANT

If multiple users are active in the same room in the Recording module, e.g., one user starts recording while another user is performing FON data entry, the system will warn the latter users and offer them two options.
See details here.


Recording Information widget during Live Recording


A Recording Information Widget can be found at the bottom panel of the live SRV, displaying the following information related to the recording:

  1. Activity

  2. Case

  3. SP

  4. Learners

The information is displayed based on the Recording setup settings or the Scheduling.


Activity, Case, and SPs assigned to the recording are displayed by default under the info icon. The assigned Learners' names can be viewed by changing to the graduation hat icon:



Intercom via Simulator 

In LearningSpace Single Room View, the Intercom can also be used via Simulators. Within LearningSpace Enterprise: announcements can be sent to the simulator's head ("Voice of Patient"),
by selecting the Simulator button

turning it into blue
 and pushing the Push-to-Talk button in the Intercom area.


Playback

During live recordings, the following enhancements can make video review easier:

  • The live stream can be paused with the pause button, and the recording can be played back by dragging the video slider to the desired point.

  • Both current and live timestamps are displayed side by side in the video record panel.

    Live view can be switched back to by pushing the Go Live button.



After 30 seconds have passed since the start of recording, the video can be paused, and the slider can be dragged. Before that time, the pause button greyed out, and the slider could not be moved.


Mute/Unmute functionality during Live Recording

The mute/unmute functionality of the NextGen Room view operates as follows:

  • General rule: the system only unmutes a camera when the user clicks on the unmute button OR if the user enters the Single Room View (live or review).

  • 3-state click functionality for mute/unmute:

    1. First click: unmutes the given camera stream, and other unmuted streams stay unmuted, too.
      The icon on all unmuted streams changes to an icon showing that multiple streams are unmuted.

    2. Second click:  mutes all other cameras (even the unmuted ones), and only the selected camera stream stays unmuted.

    3. Third click: mutes the selected camera stream as well.




Toggle Panel Width and Height

With this functionality, the bottom and side panels can be minimized to maximize the displayed camera or media view.

The toggle reveals itself when hovering over the bottom or side panel, or along the panel border lines. When activated (i.e., when the camera view is maximized), the toggle arrows are displayed constantly.


Vertical Double Layout 

In some cases, two camera views must be displayed on top of each other (i.e., in a single column) during recording.
In the latest version of LearningSpace, the utilization of the space available in the Single Room View panels can be maximized, and the panels on the right side (Annotations tab, Data Entry tab) or additional windows can be displayed in a larger size with the Vertical double layout feature:
