It depends.
-
If a recording includes only the instructor or voices of students that are not personally identifiable, it is not a student education record, and FERPA does not limit its use.
- If the recording includes the names or identifiable audio, communications, or images of students asking questions, making presentations, engaging in discussion, or leading a class (other than TAs), then the portions containing that information are personally identifiable information (PII) and do constitute student education records.
