widely
publicise Panopto, create a policy
around lecture capture and to

 40% of these only ‘kind of’ had policy documents on the topic
 Complicated and uncertain
 Easier in a private space (as compared to a MOOC)
 Do we provide ‘supportive copyright advice’ to our staff?
 Who owns what? - text, images, 3rd party content, performance
rights
 Are the recordings ‘lecture materials’?

2. Live sessions recorded
only in default

- no requirement for video
- tutor voice only
- don’t record interactive sessions
