If podcast recording has been opted-out, but there are DASS students on the course who require podcasts as part of their support plan, lectures will still be recorded and published automatically but they will only be visible to staff and DASS students on the course.
The recording preferences email sent by the Podcasting service provides information on whether a course has DASS students enrolled on it (this information can also be found on the Recording Preferences page).
Please note that it is possible that DASS students will be added/removed during the academic year – so it is advisable to check the page regularly. The Podcasting email is also sent automatically when a change is detected to a course in the timetable.
