Guest speakers/lecturers

Under the University's Intellectual Property Policy, it is a requirement to obtain permission from guest speakers in courses where their talks, presentations, or similar, are planned to be recorded and distributed for University purposes

Securing this permission ensures that the University can continue to make use of recordings of the content presented, and/or the materials supplied, as needed, creating persistence and consistency for the University's teaching and learning needs.

Our Guest Speakers form (PDF) provides standardised options to gain the appropriate permissions from guest speakers, while allowing speakers to choose access options that suit their requirements.

Notes:

• The form can be printed and filled out manually or completed digitally. Paper forms should be scanned for retention. Where completed digitally, once signed, the form should be locked to capture the speaker's selections.
• The completed form should be kept by the School, following the appropriate processes for records retention. Adding a copy of the form to the course as a hidden document is also recommended where coordinator turnover is possible.
• The form was created to ensure ongoing access to materials in line with the needs of our institution's courses. If limited-period access is desired by the speaker, this should be negotiated directly and kept on record with the form.
