Learning happens when students actively work problems and projects. Lastly, let's face it: most learning does not happen in lectures anyway. If recording is not possible, the student can take extensive notes and record himself reciting the notes (since we are not talking a out a student with a dysgraphia disability). Since this opens all kinds of cans of worms - legal repercussions and possibly loss of job - I can understand that professors are reluctant to have their lectures recorded, because they have no control over what is done with the recording. I use video editing software, and I know how very easy it is to alter an audio recording and have a person appear to say something they never did. I think this is a main concern: online sharing and possible altering. (To be clear, I was recording myself, so I didn't ask permission) When I've recorded on our laptop, I just hunted around on the web for an application that would already be on there. Many of them are probably recording the lecture (without asking).Īlthough probably most of them are surfing the web and watching movies. That said, there are an awful lot of students sitting in class with phones and laptops. This can also be a source of friction when lectures are surreptitiously recorded and then shared online. It's not that professors are trying to hide something nefarious, it changes the nature of the relationship. The phrase "is that thing on?" comes to mind. Think how you might behave if someone was recording a dinner party you were at. So a professor might either say no and feel bad about that, or say yes because they felt they had to and then have their teaching suffer because they're always worried about what's getting recorded.Ī lot of times, class is more of a social dialog then a straight lecture and professors may feel the interaction will suffer if they know they're being recorded. Probably because most professors would feel uncomfortable knowing they were being recorded. I know most students don't bother to ask. It's polite to ask the professor if it's ok. Not really directed at the OP, but just on the general topic: My son's university leaves it up to the professor, although in the case of a visual disability, I imagine the ODS can override that for an individual student, although I don't know that for certain. Even with documentation, each university gets to decide what it deems to be "reasonable."Īs far as recording goes, each university has different regulations, even public universities within the same state. The university is not required to do anything for the student without proper documentation. You will have to be very careful when looking for a university if you don't have the disability documentation needed for accommodations and there are, indeed, disabilities. In your first post, you mentioned that your student is an auditory learner, which is not a disability, so getting an evaluation would not benefit unless there are other things going on that are disabilities. The benefit of this timing was that the report included accommodation recommendations for standardized testing (SAT and ACT) as well as college accommodations. It would have been better for him if it had been done junior year. My son's last one was done in the fall of his senior year. At this point, I'm guessing that it is too late and we'll just have to find a friendly university.Īn evaluation can be done at any time. My university was very flexible, so it didn't occur to me how important it would be nowadays. Homeschooling gives the flexibility to learn in your own way. Unfortunately, I never went the diagnosis route. I guess this is something that I need to add to ask colleges as we start applying. Wow, is this common? It didn't even occur to me that the college would have a blanket no-recording policy.
