Hi all, …and this from the University of Chicago: Instructors may permit a student to record a class session for the convenience of the student, for the benefit of another student who is unavoidably absent, or as part of an accommodation for a student with a disability. Students must understand that under University policy, permission given by a member of the faculty to record a class is limited to permission to record for personal use only. It is, for example, never permissible to copy, file-share, sell, distribute, or Web-serve such recordings. Members of the faculty who believe that their classes are being inappropriately recorded, or that recordings are being misused, should contact their Dean of Students. Which is part of this general statement by the college: http://facultyhandbook.uchicago.edu/teaching/recordings.shtml Rick Rick Jagels Education Specialist College Assistance Migrant Program 111 Wilsbach Hall State University of NY College at Oneonta (607)436-2297 [log in to unmask] From: Teaching Breakfast List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Nepkie, Janet ([log in to unmask]) Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 10:16 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Policy question Hello, Tbers, I include this following underlined statement in my class policies. Policies are handed out and briefly discussed on the first day of class, and they are also posted on Angel. I occasionally DO grant permission for some of my international students, and others, to make recordings, but I have the student sign a statement saying the recordings or copies will be destroyed by the student at the end of the semester. I do this, in part, so that old lectures might not be legally floating around after I've updated my course content in future semesters. Although we can't really stop students from making copies during class, we CAN make policy statements for our own classes so long as those policy statements do not violate university policies. I make a statement forbidding unauthorized copying in an effort to provide some basis for any action I may wish to take in the future. I have not consulted any attorneys about this issue. I'd be interested to see statements from other instructors. My own statement is below. Thanks – Janet Students may not make recordings, including but not limited to any audio,video or other copies, of lectures or class content for any reason without express written consent of the instructor.

I am especially concerned with preventing lectures from going viral on You Tube. Thought you might be aware because of your connection to learning technology. Does anyone know the answer to this one?
