By means of a camcorder the lecturer is recorded during the lecture unit in the conference rooms of the department.

In addition to the video recordings, which are available via the fau.tv protal of the UNI or studOn and can be accessed by students around the clock, live streaming sessions are also offered at the FAPS to ensure interaction with the lecturers.
