This paper aims to describe the principles underlying the successful implementation of a lecture recording service in higher education.
The paper qualitatively reviews the practices and experiences of several years of automated lecture recording at a medium-sized university in Germany.
The paper concludes that there are several principles that should be followed to successfully implement lecture recordings in higher education.
The principles described in this paper can serve as recommendations for other universities that would like to establish or optimize their own lecture recording service.
The value of the paper lies mainly in the great amount of experience in successfully running a lecture recording service on which the principles and recommendations are based.
