Recording lectures and classes
Recording Lectures
There are different provisions under the Copyright Act for playing of AV content (s28) and for making a recording for viewing at a later time (s113P). Viewing live streaming is permissible under classroom provisions (face to face or online). However, if the lecture is to be recorded limits on the amount and type of content that can be copied under the University's Copyright Agency statutory licence must be observed.

For use of video content in an asynchronous class (recorded for watching at another time) the options are:
- Provide a link and citation to the video in the subject Resource List, or the chat window. (Recommended for both types of classes)
- Chunk the content by stopping the recording and splitting the class into two sessions so students have time to watch the video, via the video link, and come back for the second session.
- Ask students to watch the video before, or after, the full recording of the class.
See further information on using video content in the sections below.
Screenrights licenced content can be recorded

There is no restriction on the type of program that may be copied, the amount that can be copied or the number of copies that may be made if the copies are made available under the University's Screenrights licence.
