Students Allowed to Audio Record Class Lectures

Question

Where do I find the policy regarding students being allowed to audio record class lectures?

Answer

Zoom Usage and Classroom Attendance (Face-to-Face and Hybrid Classes Only)

Classroom participation and in-person interaction are integral components of the education process for face-to-face and hybrid courses, and the university expects students enrolled in those courses to be physically present for scheduled in-person class sessions. The use of video delivery technology (Zoom) to supplement classroom instruction is at the discretion of the instructor, but students should not assume that it is universally available. Students should also not assume that participation via Zoom meets attendance requirements. For this course, Zoom access and attendance will be handled as follows:

    Please see the “Classroom Zoom and Attendance Guidance” document, which was distributed with the "Course Management and Syllabus guidelines” document distributed each semester, for language options.

 

Statement on Recording of Lectures by Students

Lectures, presentations, and other course materials are protected intellectual property under South Dakota Board of Regents Policy.  Accordingly, recording and disseminating lectures, presentations or course materials is strictly prohibited without the express permission of the faculty member or as the result of an approved disability accommodation through Disability Services.  Violation of this prohibition may result in the student being subject to Student Conduct proceedings under SDBOR Policy 3.4.1.

Acceptable Use of Information Technology Resources:

While Regental Institutions strive to provide access to computer labs and other technology, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure adequate access to the technology required for a course. This may include access to a computer (not Chromebooks, iPads, etc.), webcam, internet, adequate bandwidth, etc. While utilizing any of the information technology systems students, faculty and staff should observe all relevant laws, regulations, BOR Policy 7.1, and any institutional procedural requirements.

Need More Help?

Students with a disability who wish to request an accommodation related to the classroom attendance requirement(s) must contact the Office of Accessibility to engage in the accommodation process. Students with an accommodation sign a document limiting how they are allowed to use recordings as a part of the accommodation approval process.
