Important information about recording of classes

Rules for recording teaching

You are not allowed to record teaching at AU without permission. 

If you want to record teaching at AU, you must first obtain the consent of both the lecturer and your fellow students. 

Recording teaching without prior consent is against the university’s rules of conduct, and it violates the lecturer’s intellectual property rights.

Learn about the consequences of breaking the university’s rules of conduct here 

You are not allowed to share recordings of teaching uploaded by a lecturer to a course forum in Brightspace or on Panopto either. 

Exceptions - Dual Career and SPS

Dual Career – academic assistant scheme

If you have been assigned an academic assistant through either AU Elitesport or AU Entrepreneurs, your academic assistant can record or live stream classes for you. 

Classroom teaching or lecture? 

  • In order for your academic assistant to record classroom teaching, you need the consent of both the lecturer and your fellow students. 
  • In order for your academic assistant to record a lecture, you need the consent of the course coordinator.
     

If you receive special educational support (SPS)

If you have been given permission to record classes because you receive special educational support (SPS), you are allowed to record classes without prior consent. 

However, you do need to notify the lecturer at least a week before the recording takes place.

What to do if you have obtained consent to record a class

If you have obtained consent to record a class at AU, you must respect the following three rules: 

  1. Do not include your fellow students’ personal data in the footage. This includes video recordings of fellow students, personal data on a whiteboard or the equivalent. 
  2. Delete the record immediately after it has been used for the intended purpose and by the end of the semester at the latest. 
  3. Never share your recordings with others. Sharing recordings is against the university’s rules of conduct and violates intellectual property rights.
