Recording of Lectures Policy

Trinity's new Recording of Lectures Policy provides information for teaching staff on making lecture recordings or lecture summaries available as a learning aid or additional resource for students in the VLE (Blackboard Ultra), and provides information for students on accessing and using these recordings.

The Policy responds to the University’s commitment to provide an accessible and inclusive learning environment for its students, aligned to the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). By providing clear guidance on the use of lecture recordings or lecture summaries as a learning support, the Policy helps to ensure a consistent and inclusive approach across the University.  It balances accessibility for students with the protection of intellectual property, personal data, and the integrity of in-person teaching, emphasizing that lecture recordings are not a substitute for attending lectures, and that all students (unless otherwise excused) are expected to meet the attendance requirements set by their programme of study.
