Exporting Recordings to a Zip File

Any session recordings can be exported by a member of the teaching team attached to the module to a zip file as an MP4.

Important Notes:

  1. Members of staff should be aware of any GDPR implications before exporting and sharing Collaborate Assessment MP4 recordings.
  2. Session recordings are exported overnight – the academic requesting the export will receive an email once the export is complete.
  3. The process will export all recordings for a specific session – it is not possible to export only specific recordings for a session.
  4. The process will allow you to select sessions which have no recordings, this will result in –
    1. A Failure email after the nightly migration to tell you your selected session had no recordings to migrate.
    2. A success email if 2 or more sessions where selected and some did have recordings. The email will detail the number of recordings exported and the number of sessions which had no recordings and could not be exported.
