Recording Services

Instructional Technology can record special events, guest speakers, faculty review and make-up classes for later access online. This is ideal for making guest lectures available to evening students, or faculty who need to record their classes for their review process.

However, recording services are not available to individual students, and never for the purpose of skipping class. Therefore, Recording Requests must be submitted at least one week in advance and come directly from Event Administration, faculty, administrative assistants, or departmental staff.

To start this process, please make arrangements through your administrative assistant, Event Administration or Student Life. Logins to online request forms are restricted: Recording Request Form.

Note: due to increased volume various recording requests may be regulated to audio recordings only.

Talent Release Forms

All guest speakers (who are not employees of Seattle University) should sign a standardized Talent Release Form before their recordings will be posted online. This is the responsibility of the event organizers, as the media services staff will be unable to handle this during setup. Forms can be returned to Media Services in Room 311d.

Standardized Recording Output

In order to process high demand, all recordings made by the law school will be done using standardized formats without exception. Video will be shot to compressed Windows Media Video files, and audio will be saved as MP3 files. Full screen DVD recording is not a service we can provide at this time.

Streaming Services - Medialaw

Recordings can be placed on our streaming server, formally called Medialaw, for access over the internet. These videos can be open to the public (with permission) or limited to subgroups within the School of Law. We do not have the ability to limit access to anyone who does not have an SU network account.

Podcasting Services

Podcasting Services are currently being explored through a joint pilot study venture with other departments and schools on campus. More information on this will be posted once a final services is chosen and in place.
