Q: We grade an activity in our course where the students state their name and then give an oral presentation. If this is done via Zoom, can we record these sessions and still comply with FERPA?
A: The recordings will be student education records under FERPA and therefore must be kept properly private. If the recordings are only accessible to and shared with school officials with a legitimate educational interest, such as an instructor grading the activity, it is permissible under FERPA. We also recommend having a process to delete recordings once they are no longer needed. Consult the Maintaining Records of Student Work policy for more information.
