I'd actually encouraged the University to record the lectures - many are starting to do this anyway, driven by the the needs of accessibility laws (in countries that have them) and the desire to enter the world of massively on-line courses.
Unless there's more than a very small number of people, the fuss of setting up a loop system is worse than an individual recorder. Many of our students at York were already recording lectures on phones or laptops before I retired - basically because they were Chinese or other non-native speakers and that helped them understand English accents. I'd thought of putting a Yorkshire accent joke here, but you'd have had to record it :-) Dave On 21 September 2015 at 22:20, Eero Aro <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > I've simply used (an old) Zoom H2 SD-card recorder. > > I have usually set it for mp3 for lecture recordings (good enough audio > quality and lots of duration) and selected a fig of eight mono recording, > so that possible questions from the audience also get recorded > (at least somehow). > > I have asked a permission from the lecturer to make a recording > for my own use.
