Providing Notice, Knowledge & Respectful Use of Video

Ask students if they would like to record the appointment. Explain the reasons they may want to have a recording and allow them to ask questions and seek clarification. 

Explain to the student how the recordings will work (how the library staff member is the only one to start recording, how they will hear notification of the recording starting and stopping) where the recordings are stored (Montreal, Quebec, Canada), how long they will be stored and how you will make the recordings available to them. These details are important as students should know how the link goes to your account for enabling to ‘public’ status and ability to obtain the ‘shareable link’.

Discuss with students the respectful behaviours they should all engage in around the recordings from BlueJeans

  1. They won’t share that link or the recording with anyone else.
  2. They will only use it for intended purposes to support their learning.
  3. They won’t upload or put on social media any portion of the BlueJeans video.
  4. They won’t engage in any unethical, unprofessional or disrespectful uses of the video.
