Recordings and Statistics

What is recorded?

• NOTE: The User Module is NOT recorded; but student participation data is available (in the Recording tab's Statistics link).

Privacy Concerns

What student participation is considered private?

Recordings of Sakai Meetings may contain student information that is protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). What can be considered private?

• Student chat room participation: It shows students’ names and comments they typed.
• Student audio participation: Their voice is recorded if they participate vocally.
• Student webcam participation: Students images are recorded if they share their webcam.

Can I share recordings outside of class?

FERPA allows recordings that contain student information to be shared with other students in the same class.

• By default, all Meetings recordings are protected and private. Only students in the course can view the recording.
• Therefore, recordings that contain student information should NOT be shared with other classes (current or future) or

with anyone outside of the class or outside of the College.

• If the recording does NOT contain student information or participation the instructor may share the video with other classes (current or future).
  • For example, if an instructor creates a recording while demonstrating how to perform a task, the instructor can share this video with other classes.
  • NOTE: If an instructor wants to share their Meetings recording with other classes, they must make the recording public, by unprotecting it.

How do I record a meeting session?
