Use Restricted to Same Class Members:
Instructors are permitted to record class activities and share these recordings with
members of the same class under the following conditions:
- Class members must be informed in advance through both verbal notification and written notice in the syllabus.
- Class members must be given the option to opt out of being recorded.
While it is not required to obtain written consent for this limited use, instructors may choose to do so if they anticipate using the recordings for future purposes or sharing them publicly online (see details below under "Use for Future Semesters or Posting Online Publicly").
Use for Future Semesters or Posting Online Publicly:
Instructors who plan to reuse class recordings for future semesters or wish to post them online must first obtain written consent from all students who can be personally identified in the recordings. Consent forms should be kept for three years following the last usage of the recordings.
Definition of Personally Identifiable Information:
For the purposes of this policy, students are considered personally identifiable if their full name or face is visible in the recording. Additionally, students are considered to be personally identifiable if the recording includes enough information or context (visually, audibly, or otherwise) that could potentially identify them. All recordings that contain personally identifiable information are treated as educational records and must therefore be stored securely on University-supported, password-protected websites. The recording, use, dissemination, and storage of these sessions must comply with copyright and other intellectual property laws and policies.
