LSE Lecture Recording Policy Review 2025

LSE Lecture Recording Policy Review 2025

The Eden Centre is conducting a review of the LSE lecture recording policy during the first half of 2025.

All consultation surveys are now closed

Key Points:

Objectives and Rationale 

The review aims to assess the effectiveness and operation of the policy, understand staff and student experiences, and address any operational issues. The policy has a review interval of 3 years and it is now 3 years since the current policy was implemented.

Timeline

  • Jan-Mar: Data Collection and Consultation

  • Jan-Mar: Data Analysis

  • Mar-Apr: Report Preparation and Recommendations

  • May: Consideration at LSE Education Committee

Scope

The review focus is on policy effectiveness, operation, staff and student experience, and the impact of legislation. Please note that a move away from the current opt-out policy back to opt-in is not in scope, nor are changes in attendance policies or investigation of lecture attendance.  However, we are using this opportunity to gauge issues with the current policy and the appetite for a review of LSE’s lecture attendance related policies.

Please see below for further details of what will be covered by the review and what will not.

The staff consultation survey ran from early February until Mar 9, 2025and is now closed.

Departmental submissions

Academic departments were asked to submit a departmental response. The deadline for departmental responses was Mar 12, 2025
