Hello Val
We had a situation similar to this at UWIC. It was agreed that we could
not force the students to be recorded because it infringes on their
civil liberties to do so. We also had to progress with the groupwork
assignment, because it was felt that to cancel it would infringe on
academic standards.
We then offered the student a notetaker, which was accepted in the short
term, but the student felt that this was compromising their
independence. The final solution was therefore to select individuals who
were happy to be recorded and make up a working group that way.
I know that it is not the perfect solution, but it did work in this
case.
Hope that helps?

Subject: Students refusal to let disabled student record group work
We have recently assessed a student who needs, and is her chosen method,
to
record group work. However, the students in the group have refused to
let
her do this, although the lecturer is happy for her to do so. Does
anyone
know what the legalities and solutions are to support the student?
