Signing up for lecture recordings in myCourses


OVERVIEW

Target audience: Instructors teaching in lecture recording-equipped classrooms or using Zoom recordings.

If your course is given in a lecture recording-equipped classroom, you can sign up to have your lectures recorded for your students to review.

You will need to sign up for the LRS in myCourses, for each of your courses, approximately two weeks before the start of each new term.

note

NOTE:

If you try to access the Lecture Recordings page before the semester starts, you may see a message indicating that lecture recording is not available for your course. You can return to this page after the semester starts to change your Lecture Recording settings.

NOTE: Recording lectures using Zoom

Zoom is a web conferencing platform for remote teaching and learning that supports lecture recording and is integrated with myCourses. The LRS sign up procedure below is not required for lecture recordings using Zoom.

In this article:

Step 1: Add the Lecture Recordings link to your course navigation bar

Before signing up, your course’s navigation bar must contain the Lecture Recordings link. You only need to do this once; when your course is copied to a new term the Lecture Recording link should already be there.

The Lecture Recordings link allows students to view your lecture recordings and also provides you with the Instructor Tools interface to sign up, and change your recording settings at any time.

  1. On the Course Home page, click Course Admin > Navigation & Themes.
  2. From the Active Navbar drop-down list at the top of the page, select McGill Course Home + Lecture Recordings
    (OR, if you copied components from a past course in which you already added the Lecture Recordings link, you may select the navigation bar from that course). 
  3. Click Apply.

Step 2: Sign up to have your lectures recorded

You need to do this for each course, before the start of term.
