FERPA Q&A

Question: If a class is offered remotely using web conferencing technology and the class session is recorded (such that students are identified in the recording), can the recording be shared?

Answer: If the recording is shared with other students enrolled in the class, yes. For example, the recording could be shared with students who were absent, or needed to review a presentation they made.

However, sharing the recordings outside of the class is not permitted unless the students have given their signed, written permission.
