Lecture Capture
In many classrooms and auditoriums there is equipment for automatic video recording of lectures. Recording and streaming of lectures is only available on request from academic staff. Here is some practical information for students and lecturers.
Streaming and/or recording
The equipment set up in some auditoriums and classrooms can be used for real-time streaming and / or lecture capture.
How it works
Streaming and recordings of lectures is made available on the subject’s pages in the Canvas Learning platform.
The equipment in the rooms that are prepared for streaming and recording consists of a camera in the ceiling, and either a ceiling microphone or a wearable microphone.
It will mainly be the lecturer's voice that is included in the stream / recording, but in rooms with ceiling microphones, dialogue in the room can be included in the recording.
Only the lecturer, the board area and the screen from the lecturer’s computer will be the focus of the recordings. The students’ activity will not be in focus. It is nevertheless noted that students who move into the board area may become visible in the recordings.
Recordings / stream will only be made available to the students on the subject being lectured, and the recordings made for one class will only be available for this class.
If you ask questions in the lectures, the lecturer will repeat the question in his/her microphone. A microphone for students will not be sent around in the auditorium. You will also be given the opportunity to ask questions in writing, and/or during the breaks.
Lecturers who have ordered streaming and / or recording of lectures will be able to explain more about recording and streaming at the lectures.
Recording and privacy
If you can be identified by either sound or image, this is considered to be personal information. This gives you rights through personopplysningsloven (in English – General Data Protection Regulation).
Your consent for recording
If lecturers wish that students participate in a recording (on the podium or speaking in a microphone), lecturers must ask for written consent. Participation is optional. If you do not want to consent, the lecturer does not have the right to ask you to join a recording.
A consent can also be withdrawn, and you can then require a recording to be deleted or edited.

Alternatively, lecturers can stop recording if or when a student is going to speak in a microphone or when joining on the podium.
If you still appear on recordings
If you have been recorded (film or audio) involuntarily, and this was not the lecturer’s purpose (see section above), you can contact the data controller at behandlingsansvarlig@kristiania.no. You may require the recording to be deleted or edited.
