Lecture Capture policy

Lecture Capture institutional usage, copyright content and intellectual property.

Institutional usage

Instructors can add a Lecture Capture link in their LMS subject, and students will view all recordings for the subject through this link.

Students and staff should note that the provision of recorded lectures and quality of audio are not guaranteed, as the service is occasionally affected by technical difficulties.

As stated at the start of each lecture recording, the University holds the intellectual property of the content within all lecture recordings. Students must seek approval from individual teaching staff before recording classes via personal recording devices or any other medium.

Copyright content

If you are showing film clips or images, performing music, or including other copyright material in your lectures, there are conditions and limits on what can be recorded. There is a pause/stop button to control what is recorded. For more information see using copyright material in lectures or contact the Copyright Office.

Player Styles

By default, the University’s default Player Style with the copyright notice (113P) is applied to all media uploaded into EchoVideo. The following alternative player styles are available:

  • UoM Player (Default): The University’s Player Style. Contains the copyright notice of usage under 113P of the Act.
  • Melbourne Online Player 01: Melbourne Online’s custom Player Style. Does not contain the copyright notice.
  • Melbourne Online Player 02: Melbourne Online’s custom Player Style. Contains an alternate copyright notice for videos that do not rely on the Educational Statutory Licence.
  • UoM Player (Alternate 1): The University’s Player Style. Contains an alternate copyright notice for videos that do not rely on the Educational Statutory Licence.
  • UoM Player (Alternate 2): The University’s Player Style. Contains no Copyright notices. Only use for produced material that contains required notices in the media directly.
  • UoM Player (Short): The University’s Player Style. Contains a short copyright notice. This is only to be used for short videos that run for three minutes or less that need to cite 113P.

Important: Alternative Player Style should only be applied where you are certain the style is appropriate for the media.

For support on applying or creating Player Style for your media, please submit an LMS support request.
