Chronicle of Higher Ed Reporter Gavin Escott explores the experiences of US instructors who are navigating increasing fears about having class recordings weaponized against them. Escott explains that while higher education used to operate under the assumption that discussions would stay within the classroom, today’s use of recording devices means that instructors and students may wonder if their views will be exposed and shared more broadly. Escott describes some of the challenges that instructors and students are facing, including anxiety, mistrust, and concerns about the use of recordings in complaints. The author details the impacts of these challenges and how some instructors are navigating them within the classroom.
