Unit 5: Privacy, Confidentiality, and Data Ethics

5. Ethical Considerations When Recording Lessons or Student Performances

Recording lectures, classroom discussions, or student presentations can enhance learning and accessibility—but raises concerns about consent, data storage, and distribution.
Guidelines:
·       Obtain informed consent before recording.
·       Clearly explain how recordings will be used and who will have access.
·       Allow opt-out options where possible.
In some contexts, recording without consent—even unintentionally—can violate institutional or national policies.
