Lecture Recordings posted in Blackboard
The recording of lectures is governed by the Copyright Act and policy at Georgian:
Does your lecture contain copyrighted materials?
Additional considerations are needed to ensure Copyright compliance if your lecture/recording includes copyrighted materials such as:
- Slides provided by a textbook publisher
- Sharing a page from the course textbook
- YouTube, CBC news clips or TED Talk videos
- Library videos, books or other resources
- Images or web content not covered by a CC license
As long as your live lecture uses material that is copyright compliant, that same content will be compliant in the recorded lecture you stream and post in Blackboard. This includes using materials under Fair Dealing and citing/referencing materials. However, there are specific conditions to this provision.
Section 30.03 of the Copyright Act requires that
The captured lecture must be destroyed within 30 days of the final course evaluations being giving to students in the class.
Note: It is the recording of the lecture, not the PowerPoint or materials used in the lecture that must be destroyed.
For specific questions, please contact the Library and ask us!
