The role of the academic is much more than simply conveying knowledge, and a recording of a class only captures a part of the impact on learning that an academic provides. It should never be possible to replace a live academic with a recording.
That said, CCCU is committed to making their staff feel comfortable making recordings, and have created two particular elements of the University's Digital Learning Capture Policy to directly address this concern.
Firstly, recorded content will only be retained for a period of up to 24 months (unless the academic who made the recording opts to extend this). This allows students to look back on content that has been recorded for them over the last two academic years, while ensuring staff that their recordings cannot be re-used year-on-year without their specific permission.
Secondly, the rights to the recording are shared between the individual(s) being recorded and the institution. As with any content created by staff as part of their work for the University, recordings are subject to the University's "Intellectual Property Policy - Staff", which states that the University owns the Intellectual Property for those works. However, each recording is also considered as a performance, and as such the DLC Policy states that the Performance Rights for each recording are owned by the individual(s) being recorded. This means that recordings made by a staff member who subsequently leaves the institution could not be re-used by CCCU (beyond the original use the recordings were intended for, i.e. for the education of the original cohort) without the individual's express consent. Similarly, the staff member could not take the recordings to use for their next employer without CCCU's express consent.
