Hi Lesley
I have certainly come across lecturers being reluctant to allow recordings, though once we've explained reasonable adjustments to them it seems to do the trick. I think lots of students record on their iPhones etc. anyway without even asking, but certainly if students are loaned a voice recorder from the disability office, or issued one through DSA, then we always advise them to let lecturer's know they are recording them out of courtesy & to come back to us with any problems so we can then follow up if needed. Personally I've not come across other students being reluctant to be recorded in a group discussion etc. but it raises a good point so I too would be interested in your work if you are willing to share.
Kind regards
Helen

Hi Lesley, would you be willing to share your policy when you have done it. I think this is something which would be of interest to many. It is certainly something I am starting to think about, but haven't got as far as you as yet.

Dear All,
we are just drafting an accessible learning policy and within it are recommending that recording of all teaching sessions is opened to all students (previously it was technically restricted to those with learning agreements and only in lectures). A question has arisen regarding those sessions which are more interactive and students participate in. What would the position be if another student expressed the wish not to be recorded. Does anyone know if there is a legal position that we need to take into account?
I'd be very grateful to hear colleagues' experience and thoughts in this area.
Many thanks
Lesley
