How can I protect my Lectopia recordings?

Lectopia recordings made available via WebCT are username and password protected and therefore access is restricted according to user group permissions for particular WebCT units.

Additional protection is facilitated by delivery of recordings in a streaming media format (the default Lectopia delivery format), whereby the computer accessing the Lectopia recording only has a few seconds of the recording stored locally at any one time. This means that the recording cannot be downloaded in full and/or copied.

There is no means of protection available where you elect to allow lecture recordings to be downloaded. The decision to allow download is one which must be made by you, balancing your requirement to protect the recordings vs. flexibility for students.
