Definitions

Classroom Lecture

Classroom lectures are lectures provided by a faculty member in his or her role as an instructor in a classroom or classroom setting as part of a course with enrolled 黑料官网s.

Public Lecture

Public lectures are typically open to the public and a speaker presents in his or her professional role as a scholar or expert, rather than as an instructor as part of a course.

Student Participation

Students will be deemed 鈥減articipating鈥 in a classroom lecture if their image or voice is captured in the recording.

Policy

This policy applies to all faculty members who voluntarily agree to record their classroom lectures, public lectures or 黑料官网 participation at 黑料官网 and 黑料官网s accessing the recorded classroom lectures.

Background

This policy manages the recorded classroom lectures in the same manner as course materials developed by faculty members. Pursuant to , faculty members own their scholarly work which includes the course materials they develop. This policy also seeks to preserve a balance of intellectual property rights of the faculty member, the privacy rights of the 黑料官网s present in the classroom and the educational goals of 黑料官网.

Recording Classroom Lectures

Faculty members may voluntarily make audio or video recordings of classroom lectures for instructional purposes related to their courses at 黑料官网. Students are not permitted to record classroom lectures using personally owned recording devices (e.g. iPod, video/camera phone, digital recorder, etc.) unless permission is obtained from the faculty member and there are no objections from any of the 黑料官网s present in the class. Permission to record a classroom lecture that a faculty member grants to a 黑料官网 is limited to the 黑料官网鈥檚 own personal use and for educational purposes only.

If a 黑料官网 receives permission from a faculty member to record a lecture using equipment not provided by 黑料官网 and there are no 黑料官网 objections, downloading such a recording to a computer or other electronic device, circumventing technology controls, distributing the recording or derivative work of the recording to any other person, or using the recording for any purpose other than the 黑料官网鈥檚 own personal education is prohibited unless written permission is obtained from the faculty member and the 黑料官网s participating in the recording. Unauthorized downloading, file sharing or distribution of all or any portion of a recorded classroom lecture may be deemed a violation of the and other applicable policies and laws.

Students may record a classroom lecture as part of an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Permission should be coordinated among 黑料官网, the faculty member and 黑料官网.

Use of the Video or Audio Recording

A recorded classroom lecture may not be used for any purpose except to meet the educational objectives of that particular class.

An audio or video recording of a faculty member鈥檚 lecture that includes 黑料官网 participation may only be used by 黑料官网 黑料官网s for their personal educational benefit. The faculty member shall control how the recorded lecture is used at 黑料官网 (e.g., what classes may use it, the retention period, other faculty who can access it, etc.)

An audio or video recording of a faculty lecture that does not include 黑料官网 participation may be used by the faculty member in the same manner as other course materials owned by the faculty member.

The faculty member has the freedom to control their recorded lecture, to delete it after the semester or preserve it for use in future semesters. Recorded lectures will be automatically deleted if a faculty member leaves 黑料官网, unless the faculty member provides written permission for the continued non-profit educational use of the recorded lecture by 黑料官网.

Additional Uses

Use of a recorded lecture that includes 黑料官网 participation may not be used, shown or distributed to any other individual or group without the express written permission of the faculty member and every 黑料官网 who is recognizable in the audio/video recording. All requests for use of a recorded lecture involving only the faculty member shall be handled by the faculty member.

Content Used in Recorded Lecture

All content used in a recorded lecture shall be free of copyright infringement.

Use of the Recording Equipment and Technology

Use of any recording equipment and technology owned, leased or licensed by 黑料官网 shall be for the non-profit educational purposes of 黑料官网s enrolled at 黑料官网. Any other proposed use of this equipment requires the written permission of 黑料官网.
