Suggested Best Practices
• Use mashups for low risk content – i.e. not testable, since the content is beyond U of T’s control, it can be taken down by the author(s)
• Use mashups to augment existing class materials, since linking to a third party system invites browsing away from the course
Copyright Creep
• Filter Flickr results to respect copyright using advanced search
• YouTube is designed with ‘embedding’ in mind, no copyright listed
• Slideshare explicitly lists copyright, but the Bb search tool doesn’t filter by copyright; check terms of use on the website
