Our campuses are open. Please read updated information for students and staff on our website.
The policy applies to teaching not associated with certain categories of personal data (for example, health information, sexual orientation or religious affiliation).
During live-streamed teaching sessions (using tools as Adobe Connect, Zoom and the like), students can usually opt to participate by image, audio or video. Students choose the settings when they connect to the live stream and can change them at any time.
As lecturer you consent to recording when you start to record.
Before and at the start of the course you must inform:
about the legal basis for the processing of personal data (the General Data Protection Regulation, Art. 6 no. 1 letter e), cf. no. 3 letter b), cf. §§ 1-3, 3-8, 4-2 and 4-3 of the Norwegian University and College Act)
The information can be provided on the subject page or through Canvas. Remember to update if something changes after the students signed up for the course.
In case of compulsory teaching sessions where it is a new requirement that students and their active participation need to be recorded in order for OsloMet to fulfill its obligations and students' rights, the same requirements apply as for courses with existing requirements of recording (see above). The need for recording must be carefully considered against the privacy disadvantages for the students.
For compulsory-attendance courses with no requirements of students participating actively, the recording can be conducted under the same conditions as for non-compulsory teaching sessions (see below).
Before and at the start of the course you must inform:
about the legal basis for the processing of personal data (the General Data Protection Regulation, Art. 6 no. 1 letter e), cf. no. 3 letter b), cf. §§ 1-3, 3-8, 4-2 and 4-3 of the Norwegian University and College Act)
The information can be provided through Canvas. Remember to update if something changes after the students signed up for the course.
Where and how the recording is saved depends on the tool. See instructions for each tool.
The recordings should only be used for teaching purposes. If the recordings are to be used for another purpose (quality assurance, research, learning analysis, etc.), the consent of those who are recorded must be obtained.
The Section for Multimedia can assist with editing the recording and delete any content with unwanted information, such as personal information about anyone other than the students who participated in the course.
Note that chats that can be downloaded locally and saved as a text file should not be distributed.
Recordings where students can be identified are to be deleted as soon as the teaching and course exam is completed, unless they must be stored longer for specified reasons (re-sit examination, appeals procedure, etc.).
