Request and Access Class Recordings (MBA)
Regularly scheduled MBA courses taught by instructors who permit in-person class recordings are recorded automatically. MBA students can view and/or request access to class recordings through Canvas. Depending on your instructor's preference, recordings will be available through the “Class Recording Channel” link or by-request through the “Class Recording Requests” link in the course navigation in Canvas.
Class Recording Channel
If your instructor uses “Class Recording Channel”, all class recordings will be available shortly after each class session (or when your instructor publishes the recordings).
- Click on “Class Recording Channel” in Canvas and click the recording you wish to view.
Class Recording Requests
If your instructor uses “Class Recording Requests”, you will need to submit a request for each recording you wish to view.
- Click on the “Class Recording Requests” in Canvas to be directed to the Class Recordings section of the School of Business Intranet (my.business.wfu.edu). You will need to log in with your username (not your email address) and your password.
- Click on the name of the course to submit a request using the pre-filled form. Fill in the additional details about your request and click “Submit for Approval”. If you need to request a recording for a non-class session, you can use the generic “Request a Class Recording” button.
- Email notifications are sent after you submit a recording request and when your class is available to view.
- When approved recordings are available, you will see a “view” link in the My Recording Requests section.
A few notes on the recording process
- Some instructors do not permit class recordings. Courses taught by those instructors will not have any Class Recording listing in Canvas, but will be noted on the Class Recordings section of the Intranet.
- All students in each program must complete the Class Recording Agreement before students can access recordings.
Note on Machine-Generated Captions
The class recording system used at the School of Business has been enabled for machine-generated captions. Captions are a text version of the spoken portion of video content. Machine-generated captions use speech recognition technology to produce text; therefore, accuracy can vary significantly depending on several factors: sound quality, background noise, technical vocabulary, and the speaker’s accent. Due to the length and quantity of class recordings, machine-generated captions for class recordings will not be reviewed or edited for accuracy. Use captions with other learning resources such as accompanying slide decks and class readings to ensure an understanding of the topic and terminology used.
