Avoiding copyright issues in educational resources
• Copyright protects original works of authorship – including artistic works – automatically. Copyright owners have exclusive rights to control reuse of their work, subject to exceptions.
• Copyright exceptions covering non-commercial teaching, and critical engagement with a work, are subject to a test of fair dealing. The use must be reasonable in the context, and the work must be acknowledged.
• Publishing slides containing unauthorised or unattributed third-party copyright-protected material – especially photographs – is higher risk, even if the use is non-commercial.
To avoid copyright infringement, you should:
• Acknowledge the creator and the work used. Identifying the original source of third-party material is usually a prerequisite for reuse.
• Include only what is needed to make your point. Use that is demonstrably facilitative of accompanying commentary is less likely to infringe.
• Ensure the use made remains reasonable in the context. Use that is proportionate and properly contextualised is less likely to infringe.
To remain copyright compliant, you must:
• Avoid copying and pasting from the internet without identifying the material that has been reproduced. Omitting attribution for works of known authorship is not usually permissible.
• Avoid using commercially licensable material in a manner that is incidental to your commentary or critique. Use undermining a work’s “normal exploitation” is likely to infringe.
• Avoid retaining third-party copyright-protected content if slides intended for a limited audience are made available to the public online. Use exceeding the scope of exceptions is likely to infringe.
