Section 2 - Principles and Key Requirements

(3) UQ is a university that provides leadership in teaching and learning excellence, including in the use of technology to enhance pedagogy.

(4) Recording of teaching enhances the student experience by accommodating differing learning approaches, speeds and styles.

(5) Recording of teaching expands upon the range of learning and revision experiences available to all students, and is viewed as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, learning resources that enable students to engage in active and interactive learning, both on-line and face-to-face.

(6) Recording of teaching supports the UQ teaching and learning strategy by providing ‘anywhere, anytime’ opportunities for revision and enhanced study.

(7) All formally timetabled lectures in recording-enabled teaching spaces (physical or online) will be recorded and made available to students through official University systems where this is academically, legally and technologically feasible.

Intellectual Property
