Copyright Free Images & Resources

Finding, Storing, Using

In this session

• Creative Commons – what is it and how can you identify whether a resource is creative commons?

• Where can I find resources to use for teaching?

• What sort of attribution is needed?

• How do I store and access resources efficiently?

QuizQ How much of a book can you copy & give out to

students?

A 10% or 1 chapter (not whichever is greater)

Q Is this free or does it need to be paid for?

A It needs to be paid for – the education sector paid over $85 million nationally last financial year

Q Is it permissible to download videos from YouTube?

A No. They clearly state on their site that this is a breach. You can link to resources, but you cannot download.

Q Can you include pre-recorded music with powerpoints?

A Yes, if it is for teaching, if it is a short extract and if it does not damage the rights of the copyright owner.

• Clip Art is often free to use, however always check the terms & conditions of use.

It is not practical to label each individual image, so include the notice in the footer of the page on which the images appear (e.g. ‘Clip Art sourced from Microsoft.’).

• If you have gained permission to use a work, clearly describe this permission next to the work or in the footer of each page.
