You can record lectures or other teaching sessions, but you should follow the guidelines on recording teaching.

You can:

  • Make audio recordings of any timetabled teaching session you attend
  • Photograph visual materials e.g. presentation screens, whiteboards, flipcharts
  • Use your own devices to make recordings, but it must be in a way that is visible and not unobtrusive to others.

You must not:

  • Record when the lecturer has told you that recording is not permitted
  • Video or photograph people without permission
  • Record other students who object to being recorded.

Recordings are for your sole use and must be deleted once you are no longer enrolled at the University. They cannot be shared, other than with a support worker.

Unless your lecturer has given permission for a recording to be made in your absence, recordings are not a substitute for attendance.

Disabled students

If you are a disabled student and have the 'recording lectures' recommendation in your learning contract, there may be some occasions when you can record where other students are not allowed.

Your lecturer will make you aware of what you can record.

Pre-recorded lectures

Before your lecture, teaching staff will make you aware that the session, or parts of the session are being recorded.

Your lecturer will inform you where you can access these recordings, for example Blackboard.

Apps we recommend

There are recording apps available that allow you to upload audio notes, presentations, and your own notes.

We recommend you use Glean. Download via the App Store (Apple) or Google play

The Assistive Technology Team run sessions to help you use Glean, and you will need to attend a session to get a Glean account . Book a session to learn how to use this notetaking app.
