8 Tips for Managing Copyright Issues | copyrightlaws.com | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

For most librarians and other nonlawyers who deal with copyright questions on a daily basis, copyright compliance is all about managing copyright issues. This means going through a process of identifying all the facts, background information and issues related to a question, then applying the law, and finally making a judgment call. The answers to your copyright questions will vary from situation to situation and will depend on all of the particular circumstances 

in each situation as well as your organization’s tolerance for risk.


Manage your copyright issues by following these 8 tips. This will lead to copyright compliance and avoiding copyright infringement.

How do educators of Massive Open Online Courses find out about Copyright? [1490]

How do educators of Massive Open Online Courses find out about Copyright? [1490] | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

The Politics of Open


Knowledge about ‘copyright’ is required in order to teach a MOOC. This study shows that educators are not aware of the aspects of copyright when teaching a MOOC. Acquiring that knowledge is important for educators to do a more effective job. The participants in this study used more informal than formal ways of learning about copyright. Aspects of theoretical knowledge were not as evident in interviewees’ learning, extending the process of preparing a MOOC and requiring them to work outside normal working hours. Theoretical knowledge would be equally important to acquire practical knowledge more effectively. These findings suggest people should be provided with training about potential legal issues before producing video, image and text content. This training will accelerate the MOOC process; institutions and educational platforms will be benefited too.

Copyright & Universal Design for Learning, An Interview with Thomas J. Tobin | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
When it comes to copyrights, do you know the difference between material you create for your class and material you are contracted to create for a class? Who owns the rights to that material? According to copyright law, can you use a student’s paper as an example in future classes? These are some of the questions Thomas Tobin, PhD, answers in our interview conducted at the Teaching Professor Technology Conference this past weekend in Atlanta.Read more PA020: Copyright and Universal Design for Learning, An Interview with Dr. Thomas J.

This keynote will argue that in order to teach online effectively you need a better understanding how of copyright works as this knowledge will be both empowering and enlightening. Copyright is not a subject that excites most educators or learning technologists. In fact it is probably not something that they think about a great deal. For those who do consider copyright, it can be a source of anxiety, conflict and even annoyance, hampering their ability to share content with learners.

Fairness Confirmed: Copyright Board Deals Another Blow to Access Copyright - Michael Geist

Fairness Confirmed: Copyright Board Deals Another Blow to Access Copyright - Michael Geist | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
In the aftermath of the Supreme Court of Canada's 2012 copyright pentalogy that strongly affirmed the importance of user's rights and the need for a broad, liberal interpretation for fair dealing, Access Copyright insisted that the decisions did not mean what they said. While educational groups developed reasonable fair dealing guidelines based on the decisions (along with earlier decisions such as the CCH case and the inclusion of education within the fair dealing purposes in 2012 reforms), Access Copyright argued that the copying required its licence and that fair dealing guidelines based on general percentages could not be used.

Last Friday, the Copyright Board of Canada issued its latest decision on the application of fair dealing to educational copying, providing yet another resounding blow to Access Copyright's view of copyright. The Board created a tariff for copying in K-12 schools that was a fraction of what the copyright collective had wanted. It initially asked for $15 per full time student. By the time the issues had been fully assessed, the Board granted a tariff of $2.46 per student for 2010-2012 and $2.41 for 2013-2015. That rate is not only far lower than Access Copyright had demanded, but is nearly half of what was previously certified for the period from 2005-2009 (which was set at $4.81). The Board minced no words in explaining the reduction:

Just before the start of term there was some exciting news in the world of copyright, when the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA)’s new higher education licence was launched. Also importantly the limit of 5% of a work has been increased to 10% – hurray I hear you say! In case you didn’t know, the CLA licence is what covers you to make photocopies for students for use in teaching, it’s a blanket licence, but there are some important limits and exclusions. The licence also covers scanning, and for many years we have offered a highly efficient Epack service (now called Scanned Readings service) in the library. So why do we do this?
