Academic Recording Service
Audiovisual and Media Services
The Academic Recording Service is centrally funded to record lectures for approved face-to-face courses held in general use academic classrooms booked centrally by Academic Room Bookings. The service consists of a videographer who will, with your consent, video record your class and then make this recording available to you for posting online.
The intention is to provide a resource for your face to face students if they are unable to physically attend a class.
Our videographers will be following a safe work plan which we have developed in consultation with OHSE. This plan includes establishing and maintaining a physical distancing bubble for our staff and equipment.
