  1. 1.     Purpose

The recording of lectures provides Aalto University and it’s lecturing staff with a very useful learning resource and enables students to access content on demand.  This has obvious advantages for distance learning, revision, and re-use of materials.  With corresponding advances in technology, this practice is becoming increasingly popular and necessary with several hundreds of hours of lectures now being stored on University’s Panopto servers.

The purpose of this End User Licensing Agreement and Consent document* is to formalize a framework between the University and its Lecturers, that will allow this service to evolve, while protecting the rights of all involved.

*Hereafter collectively referred to as “EULA & Consent”

  1. 2.     Storage and Security

Due to the complexity of the infrastructure required to future proof and support the storage and management of the vast amounts of data created while recording these lectures, it has become necessary to host the storage of this data off-site.  The third party vendor, supplying this service complies with the University’s policy on externally hosted personal data.

The third-party vendor that would be hosting the video material is Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS is compliant with various certifications and third-party attestations:

  • AWS has been independently validated to comply with the PCI Data Security Standard as a shared host service provider.
  • AWS has achieved ISO 27001 certification of the Information Security Management System (ISMS) covering infrastructure, data centres, and services.
  • AWS enables government agency customers to achieve and sustain compliance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). AWS has been awarded an approval to operate at the FISMA Low level. It has also completed the control implementation and successfully passed the independent security testing and evaluation required to operate at the FISMA-Moderate level. AWS is currently pursuing an approval to operate at the FISMA-Moderate level from government agencies.
