Chris Baxter said: > I have to say it's not such an extraordinary question (Why should anyone > wish to tape record lectures) Many of our students wish to use tape <snip> > in note takers wherever possible ( and acceptable to the student) . Is this > what Steve Metcalfe meant ? It's what I should mean if I had made the comment Steve was responding to the message posted by Val Chapman: * Guidelines for tape-recording lectures Does anyone have any kind of * policy or safeguard mechanism, (e.g. a contract which students must * sign) with regard to "private use only" of taped lectures? I would guess he was referring to the 'contract' part of the question. >From my conversations with students I have for assessment it appears that tape recording lectures is becoming more and more popular among all types of student. One told me that a table is specially set up at the front of the class/theatre to hold all the tape recorders! I've been told several times by disabled students that they have problems getting a good recording position due to the number of students using tape recorders.
