Abstract

While the clandestine recording of classroom activities by students has been taking place for virtually the entire history of personal electronic devices, a more recent trend has been for institutions to approve and formalize the recording processes themselves, giving faculty the ability to record and disseminate all classroom activity and make it available to students. As this idea begins to take hold, consideration of the possible positive and negative effects must be undertaken. Policies and procedures must include consideration of such issues as intellectual property rights, privacy, security, and potential legal liability, as well as pedagogy. This session addresses key points to consider when establishing policies to govern this use of classroom technology, with the goal being the development of policies that include protections for the institution, the professor, and the students, while still gaining leverage from available technologies for the improvement of instruction.
