| Weblectures process changes: editing no longer the standard |
Starting in Semester 2, SOLO will no longer edit every web lecture as a standard practice. It will still be possible to request editing if there are good reasons to do so. However, the new standard procedure will be that recordings are published unedited. The advantage of the new working method is that, unless otherwise agreed, the recordings can be published after just one working day. If you have any questions, please email weblectures@fsw.leidenuniv.nl.
