Recording Students:
Syllabus Statement
In this class software will be used to record live class discussions. As a student in this class, your
participation in live class discussions will be recorded. These recordings will be made available only to
students enrolled in the class, to assist those who cannot attend the live session or to serve as a
resource for those who would like to review content that was presented. All recordings will become
unavailable to students in the class when the Sakai course is unpublished (i.e. shortly after the course
ends, per the Sakai administrative schedule). Students who prefer to participate via audio only will be
allowed to disable their video camera so only audio will be captured. Please discuss this option with your
instructor.
The use of all video recordings will be in keeping with the University Privacy Statement shown below:
Privacy Statement
Assuring privacy among faculty and students engaged in online and face-to-face instructional activities
helps promote open and robust conversations and mitigates concerns that comments made within the
context of the class will be shared beyond the classroom. As such, recordings of instructional activities
occurring in online or face-to-face classes may be used solely for internal class purposes by the faculty
member and students registered for the course, and only during the period in which the course is
offered. Students will be informed of such recordings by a statement in the syllabus for the course in
which they will be recorded. Instructors who wish to make subsequent use of recordings that include
student activity may do so only with informed written consent of the students involved or if all student
activity is removed from the recording. Recordings including student activity that have been initiated by
the instructor may be retained by the instructor only for individual use.
