USask here... And I just got a request from an instructor for a week long delay feature. We have 3 sections of a course which are sharing their lecture captures with each. Since they are often out of sync with each other, they want to avoid having the students view the "solutions" before the lectures…

This is appreciated by instructors who feel that immediate publication of their lectures encourages student absences from class. (One instructor, who opted for a several day delay, wrote: "a number of my colleagues in CS have been hesitant to have webcasting because they believe students won't come to class anymore, but so far my experience is that this short delay is enough to prevent that problem".) The relevant user story, http://opencast.jira.com/browse/MH-5393, is now assigned to Michelle, who is project managing our local efforts. Our UI work will likely involve minor changes (an extra element or two) on the Scheduling/Upload UI's; we also need to decide where such "delayed" recordings appear in the Recordings tab. John King, one of our developers, will also likely be writing new workflows and workflow operations to enable this. I would like to hear from any of you if your institution would be interested in using this feature, or if you would like to participate in a community design review of this feature. (We think it's good open source citizenship to share with the community what we're working on, and would love to take into account the needs of other institutions wherever possible.) If there's interest in a design review meeting, I'll work with those interested to schedule.
