Case 2: Live streaming

Why attend lectures when you can also watch everything online? More and more universities and universities of applied sciences are using video solutions to make lectures available online. Usually, there are also some students who will record lectures and post them online.

 


What is the situation?

One of the students streams a 'live' lecture for a roommate who is unable to attend. The student has propped his mobile phone on a small tripod to ensure stable footage. The student shares the lecture with all his followers, including his roommate, on Instagram. The educator has no idea that the student is recording the lecture.

What happened?

After class, one of the other students informs the educator that his lecture has been posted on Instagram. The educator is not happy about this and says as much to the student. The student asserts that he has the right to record the educator, since the university always posts the lectures online during the following week.

The educator says that while he has indeed given the university permission to post his lectures online, he has not given the student permission to do so on social media.
