I’m worried about lecture capture and attendance monitoring invading my privacy
Lecture Capture
Information about recordings will be available before you enroll on your modules as well as before each recorded teaching session. This includes situations where you might be recorded, and your legal rights in relation to this. If you want to be identified you should give your name. Sessions will only be recorded if it is agreed that it will improve the quality of learning without disrupting it.
Lecture capture has been designed to take the rights of students and staff into account and includes the safeguarding and protection of the people recorded. Sensitive personal data like disability status, beliefs, ethnic origin, etc wouldn’t be recorded without specific consent.
