Copyright for teaching and learning materials
23 Aug 2012
Guidance for anyone involved in recording lectures, giving public presentations and preparing material for online publication.
Are you involved in producing teaching and learning materials? If so, you probably find yourself asking the following questions:
- What are the key rights for people taking part in an event that is recorded for publication online?
- What should I check to ensure that any recording is lawful?
- What sort of document should I use to obtain the relevant consents?
- How can I avoid copyright infringement?
- How do I find media files for lectures, Blackboard or websites?
- How can I be sure that I own the copyright or have the necessary rights for any content that I use?
- How can I save time and effort in preparing teaching materials?
You can now find the answers you need online in a series of articles and a video, which have been produced by the EPS Teaching Innovation team and agreed by Iram Kiani (Office of the General Counsel) and Martin Snelling (The University of Manchester Library).
