Instructors

Instructors recording their lectures using the U of S lecture capture service agree to the following terms of use:

• Instructors choose whether or not to use this service to have their lectures recorded.
• The instructor must inform students, guest lectures and other instructors taking part or attending a lecture (series) that it is being recorded.
• Recordings are available to students in the class automatically as soon as recordings are processed. Therefore requesting that a class be recorded implies the instructor grants permission for the University to distribute the recordings and permission for authorized people to view them.
• Instructors have the option of having their recordings deleted from the server (copies may continue to exist in backups but would not be available for viewing).
• Instructors will decide if, and to whom else (besides students registered in the class), the recordings will be made available. Adding additional persons authorized to view the recordings implies the instructor grants permission for the University to distribute the recordings and permission for those people to view them.
• Instructors must ensure that they have obtained all necessary copyright right clearances to present materials (e.g., displayed, played back, performed) during the lecture being recorded by this service.
• Instructors need to be aware of copyright implications and take appropriate steps (e.g., delete recording) if someone other than themselves presents in their class (e.g., Student presentations, guest lectures).
• Instructors using this service to record their lectures must abide by all applicable laws and all University Policies, including the Computer Use Policy.
• Instructors agree that the recordings made by the service may be monitored for the purposes of administering this system (e.g., testing, monitoring technical quality of recordings).
• This service can only be used for University of Saskatchewan purposes, including lectures, presentations, meetings for educational purposes, business, or research purposes, etc.
• Only lectures in classrooms with the necessary equipment installed can be recorded by this service.
• Instructors using the service may be asked to participate in a survey to evaluate the effectiveness of this service.
• The service cannot control how others might use the recording after accessing it.
• The service will retain the recordings as follows:
  • Recordings are archived by ICT for up to two years.
  • If the lecture recording needs to be kept for historical reasons the School/Department will be responsible for downloading the capture and storing.
  • Under normal circumstances, students will have access to the recordings for at least 30 days after the class ends.
• Instructors can take a copy of their own processed lectures with them if they leave the University of Saskatchewan.
• All recordings should have a suitable Creative Commons License applied, possibly one that is quite restrictive (e.g., Attribution, No Derivative Works)
