Weblectures

• It is of utmost importance you use a lavalier microphone when recording a lecture. If the microphone is not ready for you in the lecture hall, you can retrieve it at the doorman.
• More and more lecture halls feature a ceiling microphone. As a result, audio is always recorded, even when the lavalier microphone is turned off. Please note that the audio is recorded throughout the lecture, even during the break. You can remove this when editing the recording.
• If a student asks a question during the lecture, make sure to repeat that question for the recording. 

• Keep in mind that the screen recording is also on continuously. The weblecture shows what you do on the computer. That means that if you check your email during the break, it also shows up on the recording. This can also be removed afterwards.
• If you are presenting content made by third parties, it might be copyrighted. Remember to take copyright laws into account if that is the case. Take a look at the manual for more information on video copyright.
• Warn the students beforehand that it is not allowed to take screenshots of the weblecture and that sharing the weblecture, for instance through social media, is also prohibited. 

• To make lecturers and students aware that they are being recorded, weblecture halls are being fitted with a red light. When the recording is on, the light turns red. When a weblectures employee is checking the equipment before a recording, the light flashes red.

• After you have received the link to your lecture, the recording still needs to be processed by the system. Depending on the number of daily recordings, this can take until the next morning. All recordings are available no later than the next day.

If you want to have one or multiple lectures to be recorded, you have to indicate this to your faculty scheduler. Then, when the schedule shows your lecture will be recorded, it will happen automatically. The recording starts at the scheduled time and will keep running for 5 more minutes after the lecture has ended.

If you wish to have a lecture or lecture series recorded, please inform the faculty scheduler. The link for the livestream will automatically be placed on Brightspace, so students can attend the lecture online.

After the lecture the weblecture system will automatically send you an email with a link you can place on your Brightspace course page. Check out this guide to learn how to do this. You can also edit the video. For example, by cutting certain parts out. Take a look at this guide to learn how to do this.
