As a on site faculty, the Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine focuses on classroom teaching. By attending the courses on site, you do the most for your personal learning success: you follow a regular daily schedule with an overlap-free material and learning plan and benefit from direct exchange with colleagues and lecturers.

Podcasts are made available in individual courses to supplement classroom teaching. The recordings are intended to help you better understand the material. The recordings only serve as a supplement and do not replace personal participation. Technical problems or failures may occur. The associated risk of missing the recording of a lecture lies with the students who do not attend the class on site.

1    For which courses are podcasts available?

Bachelor and Master: Selected lectures are recorded and made available to students as podcasts.  All elective courses, tutorials and seminars take place exclusively on site without recording or live transmission.

2    What is being recorded (image/sound)?

The image recording includes the projection of the projector shown on site (e.g. PPT slides, visualizer) as well as the image from a camera, on which the front three rows and the lectern can be seen. The audio recording includes all sounds transmitted by the lecture hall microphones.

3    What can you do if you do not want to be recorded?

Do not sit in the first three rows and do not use a microphone for your questions and answers.

4    When and where are the recordings available?

The recordings are usually available on Kaltura no later than 48 hours after the course and can be played back using any internet browser.

Although the most up-to-date recording technology is used, unforeseen interruptions, e.g. due to a power cut, cannot be completely ruled out. The associated risk of missing the recording of a lecture lies with the students who do not attend the lecture on site.

Please also note that the podcasts from the first two weeks of the semester will only be available from around the third week of the semester.

5    How long are the recordings available?

The recordings are available in the current semester until the end of the following examination session, but not beyond. This also applies to courses that extend over several semesters.

6    What about data privacy?

By participating in the lectures, you agree that you:

can be seen on recordings if you are in the front three rows of the lecture hall or if you go to the lecturer's desk, be heard when you say something into a microphone.  
The recordings made are stored on Kaltura servers. They are permanently and irrevocably deleted after two semesters.
