Recording lectures

You may record lectures if you are a disabled student who finds it problematic to take lecture notes.

You will need evidence to support this requirement and to do the following:

(1) Inform the Accessibility and Disability Resource Centre (ADRC) of your particular circumstances. This will assist the University in making an appropriate adjustment to improve your learning experience and will also help the University to facilitate the recording of lectures. You can do this by filling in the online Student Information Form, if you haven’t done so already.

(2) As part of the online student information form noted above, you will need to sign to show you have read the Agreement for the Recording of Lectures, Seminars, and Supervisions. Once you have completed this form, please contact the convenor of the paper for which you need to record lectures to let them know that you will be making a recording. Please do this in advance of the lecture(s) so that they can check we have received your information from the ADRC.

(3) If you are unable to attend lectures due to your disability and do not have a fellow student willing to make a recording on your behalf, please let the lecturer and/or the departmental office know so that appropriate alternative arrangements can be put in place for you.

 

Availability of teaching materials

Teaching materials, such as lecture handouts, may be made available in advance to students with learning support arrangements in place. You will need evidence to support this requirement and to inform the ADRC following the procedure as described above by completing the online Student Information Form. Please contact the convenor of the paper for which you require materials in advance. This will need to be done as early as possible in the term and before the teaching session(s) are due to take place so that they can check we have received your information and requirements from the ADRC and prepare the materials accordingly.

 

Adherence to these procedures will ensure that the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic is able to make a reasonable adjustment under the terms of the Equality Act (2010) in respect of providing equal treatment and equal access to educational opportunity for all students regardless of any disability, while respecting matters of intellectual property and copyright.
