What to do

If you intend to record the course or parts of it, and it is not an ILIAS course:

Background information: If recordings from a camera, microphone, chat, list of participants or similar include students participating online or in the on-campus classroom, you have to get the consent (in form of a consent declaration) of each participant to this explicitly described data processing. This is a very important part of your documentation requirements! The students must be given the option of revoking their consent, ideally in a way that is as easy as giving consent. Implicit consent is not sufficient – consent must be explicitly given.

If your recordings only include audio/video of yourself, then you do not need the explicit consent of your students. If you offer these kinds of recordings in a web conference that the participants cannot record, then please see our information for courses that are not recorded.
