Glasgow University Students Representative Council

The SRC’s #LecRec campaign is relaunching for Semester 2. This is a priority campaign that with the help of students is encouraging more lecturers to opt in to our current lecture recording policy if staff lecture in a room with lecture recording capability. We are aiming to move towards a policy where all lectures are recorded for all UofG students to make learning more accessible for our 27,000 students.

In semester 1 #LecRec resulted in the following wins:

• Collaborating with Central Timetabling saw there was a huge increase in the number of events in which lecture recording has been requested in rooms with lecture recording capabilities. 255 events (in Semester 1 of academic year 2016/7) has increased to 454 events in semester 1 (17/18) – almost double!
• Senior Management Group in their open letter in response to the SRC, as a matter of priority, agreed to increase the number of teaching areas that are equipped with digital recording technology until all lecture theatres offer this facility.
• Funding has been secured for a new space on campus for lectures to be pre-recorded for flipped teaching

In Semester 2 we are looking to:

• Try and push for a new lecture recording policy whereby all lectures (if given in a facility with the capability) would be recorded in some capacity
• Continue to increase the numbers of lectures currently recorded
• Push for increased funding and further provision of lecture recording equipment in rooms across campus

Get involved!
