How do Students Access the Recordings?
ITS will create a Mediasite channel for your course. Faculty can choose to embed the entire channel or individual videos into Canvas. Alternatively, direct links to the channel or specific videos can be shared with students.
Who else can see my lecture recordings?
ITS will automatically configure access so that only enrolled students can view the content. These videos are hosted on Mediasite, where faculty can customize their preferred security settings. For more details, please review the information under section 3: Adjusting Your Video Access Settings.
How do I make my recordings available as downloads?
How do I make changes to a recording?
To edit a video, click the "Edit Video" option for each piece of content under the MyMediasite link. The web editor will then direct you to a new page where you can trim your video.
How do I record my lecture from home?
MyMediasite provides professors with access to recording software for use on your computer. Mediasite Mosaic is ideal for recording your webcam, microphone and computer screen. This program must be installed on your computer.
WHere are my recordings from a previous semester?
If you taught a course in the past 12 months and it was recorded through the ITS Lecture Recording service, ITS will have the original copies of these recordings.
You can request that these recordings be retained for the upcoming semester by submitting a ticket.
How do i add closed captions to my recordings?
Mediasite offers transcription and captioning services. For more information, please get in touch with IT Services.
How do i request a different start/end time for my next class?
Lecture Recording schedules are based on the class times listed in SFU Outlines and cannot be changed for the semester.
To alter the recording time for a single class, complete the “Single-Day Request” section of the Lecture Recording Request form.
If you need to adjust the recording time for multiple class days, please submit a separate request form for each affected day. It is your responsibility to ensure that the classroom is reserved for you during the requested times.
CAN I RECORD MY LECTURE FOR STUDENTS IF I AM SHOWING CONTENT PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT?
The recording systems in the rooms do not restrict the recording of copyrighted materials. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have permission to record any content that is not your own.
For more information about recording copyrighted materials, see SFU Library's copyright guidance for lecture materials.
