What is the EAC's recording policy as it pertains to "audio recording of lectures"?

Recording Policies

• Recordings are for personal use only. An instructor's consent is first required if a recording is to be shared. 
• Recordings cannot be used against the instructor or other students whose comments are recorded.
• The instructor can request that the recorder is turned off when there is discussion of confidential information which is not appropriate to be recorded. Material covered while the recorder is off should be put on the test.
• The instructor can request that recording be deleted at the end of the semester.

For Zoom lectures:

EAC recommends that the instructor make recordings of the class available to all students in accordance with the principles of Universal Design for Learning. You may also work with Assistive Technology Specialist, Kim Saccio-Kent Links to an external site., on creating Otter.ai transcripts of your lectures and making those available to all students. 

Some guidelines to keep in mind if recording Zoom lectures: 

• Any recordings can only be used in the current class (cannot use one recording for multiple classes). 
• Please announce to the students that you are recording lectures for private, class use. 
• Allow students to turn off their camera if they wish.
• Delete recordings at the end of the semester. 
• Consider limiting the recording to lectures and turning off the recording during more personal discussion times.
