Hi all, At Cardiff we have started to work on a general policy - more and more students (disabled or not) are wanting to record lectures, and responses vary across academic departments, so we feel it's important to clarify what students are allowed to do with recordings and whether there are circumstances in which lecturers can legitimately refuse permission to record. But I'm afraid we've only just got started, so nothing much to share as yet! all the best, Katya _______________________________ Katya Hosking [log in to unmask] Inclusive Curriculum Officer Registry, Cardiff University 30-36 Newport Road, Cardiff CF24 0DE (029) 2087 9218 >>> "Rich, Tammy" <[log in to unmask]> 15/05/2008 16:44 >>> HI Naseem Thanks for that, it's particularly helpful. I found the Gloucester policy - it's the only one that appears when you Google. It seems there are policies re disability but no-one's come back with a policy regarding audio recording in general. Does at mean our Universities haven't thought about that?

Best wishes Naseem ________________________________ From: HE Administrators equal opportunities list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Rich, Tammy Sent: 15 May 2008 12:38 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: audio recording of lectures I have spoken to one member of this listing who has kindly agreed to send me a copy of their institutions policy on students' use of recorded lectures. Do any other institutions have policies in place to cover this? I found some guidelines regarding Disabled students use of audio recordings from Kings College and Leeds which is useful. I'm sure it won't have escaped your notice that I am from Kingston University and we are in the press regarding the release of the recording of a lecturer talking to students about the National Student Survey. I am not involving myself in the rights or wrongs of the argument but there will be a consequent reluctance by our lecturers (and probably at other institutions) to allow recordings to take place. What we want to do is to ensure that, where a Summary of Support Needs says that this is a requirement, the lecturer is protected too. Our Disability and Dyslexia Department wants to ensure that we have a policy in place for that (I don't think we're alone in not having one) and I thought I would also ask generally if anyone's institution has an overarching policy for all students. Would really appreciate some feedback on this. Interestingly the public responses on the news websites, which have been variable, have highlighted similar practices at many other Universities so it may be just as well that those of that need to, learn from those who have already protected themselves. Also - does anyone know of anything equivalent to Whistleblowing protection for students?
