• Permits schools to copy and make limited use of copyright material for free, for educational instruction, if the use satisfies a number of criteria.

• You must assess your proposed use against those criteria on a case-by-case basis.

See information sheet: “The New Flexible Dealing Exception – What am I allowed to do?”:


Common activities permitted under flexible dealing

• Teachers may copy videos (eg YouTube) and sound recordings (eg podcasts, music) under flexible dealing subject to certain requirements.

Converting VHS to DVD where it is not possible to buy a DVD of that film and the DVD is needed for educational instruction

Preparing an arrangement of a musical work for students to perform in a music class when you cannot buy the arrangement you need

Format shift audiovisual content from CD to digital for use on iPads, etc lacking CD-ROM drives when it is not possible to buy a digital version of the film or sound recording.

34

s 200AB and Commercial DVDs

Cannot copy from commercial DVDs.

• Commercial DVDs are protected by ATPMs - access control technological protection measures.

• ATPMs – any technology that prevents a user from easily accessing and copying the content on a DVD.

Tricky areas: YouTube and iTunes video content

The terms of YouTube and iTunes provide that the content can only be used for ‘personal, non-commercial’ use.

This may not include copying by educational institutions for ‘educational use’.

3838

Can I copy YouTube videos for use in class or as part of a resource?

• There is no clear answer.

• You may be able copy a YouTube video and use it for educational instruction under s 200 AB….. BUT the terms and conditions of YouTube may not strictly allow this.

• YouTube now allows video owners to upload their videos under a Creative Commons licence so they can share their work with others.

• Each jurisdiction will have to decide whether they will rely on what is permitted by the Copyright Act in light of YouTube's (and iTunes) terms of use.

Teachers Tube is a great alternative: www.teachertube.com For further information: “YouTube: Use by Teachers” : http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/855

3939

YouTube: Linking and Streaming

Practical alternatives to copying videos off YouTube include:

• Directly streaming YouTube videos in class (permitted under s 28) – from YouTube website or via a link embedded on another website.

• Linking the YouTube video is not a copyright activity - you are not copying the content.

See information sheets: “YouTube: Use by Teachers” http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/855

“Performance and Communication of works and audio-visual materialin class – What am I allowed to do?”


4040

YouTube: Embedding Videos

• You may embed a link to a video on another website, such as the class blog or wiki, or school intranet and learning management system.

• The YouTube website provides information on how to embed links to YouTube videos. (http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=57788).

• Sometimes, the video owner does not want others to embed their video and may disable this functionality. In this case, you should not pursue embedding the link.

• You may stream videos that you have embedded in another website to a class under s 28.

See information sheets: “YouTube: Use by Teachers” http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/855

“Performance and Communication of works and audio-visual material in class – What am I allowed to do?”


iTunes – music iTunes music is covered by the schools recordings agreement

and this agreement overrides the general terms of iTunes. Under the recordings licence, schools are permitted to make

sounds recordings in any form:

• to be played at a school event

• of a school event at which music is played

• for inclusion in an electronic presentation

• to play in class for educational purposes

• to be used as part of a course of instruction

• to synchronise with recordings made of a school event

Smartcopying tips…

Link – link or embed material whenever possible. Don't download or copy.

Providing a link is not a copyright activity. You are not copying the content, just providing a

reference to its location elsewhere.

43


Label – always attribute the source.

• All material created and used for educational purposes should be properly attributed.

• Attribution info needs to include details of the copyright owner and/or author, where the material was sourced from and when.

• Attributing is important to ensure that we don't pay licence fees for material we already own or are allowed to use

• eg teacher/school/student created content

See labelling information sheet at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/532

44



Limit – ensure access to material is limited to relevant students only

Once material is communicated to an entire institute/campus or jurisdiction, the risk of copyright infringement increases dramatically.

Limiting access is an important cost management practice.

Collecting societies believe that the value of content increases with the number of people who can access it.

45


Clear out unwanted content regularly

Material copied and communicated under the Statutory Licences is paid for again for every 12 months it remains 'live'. Clearing out material that is no longer required is one practical way of managing the copyright costs.

46



Two options:

Archive – for material that is not currently being used but is likely to be used in the future.

Move it into a closed area on the repository or elsewhere online where it can only be accessed by one person, such as the school librarian, ICT Manager or teacher who uploaded the material to repository in the first place.

47



Two options:

Delete – for material that the school no longer requires for educational purposes should be completely deleted from the repository.

48


Use Open Education Resources

• Material whose owner has given permission for the material to be used for educational purposes, for free

• Depending on the licence, OER can also be modified and shared by teachers and students.

Some Copyright Challenges

• While there is a lot that teachers can copy, the licence schemes and free use exceptions are restrictive and complicated:

• Teachers are burdened with complex copying limits and mandatory notice requirements under the Statutory Licences.

• Teachers cannot modify, share or remix material except in limited circumstances.

• The material can only be made available to parents and the community in limited circumstances.

Free for education, open education and creative commons material is a great alternative!

OER - Definition

• Open Educational Resources (‘OER’) are a growing trend towards openness of teaching and learning materials.

• OER are teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for everyone to use, whether you are a teacher, student or self learner.

• OER include: worksheets, curriculum materials, lectures, homework assignments, quizzes, class activities, pedagogical materials, games and many more resources from around the world.

See: www.oercommons.org

http://www.oercommons.org/

54

OER: Fundamental Values

• OER share some fundamental values:• Resources are free for any individual to use

• Are licensed for unrestricted distribution

• Possibility of adaptation, translation, re-mix, and improvement.

OER in a nutshell

OER is about creating repositories of material which are free to:

AccessUse

57

OER and Creative Commons

• Most OER resources use Creative Commons (CC) licences.

• This is because CC licences are well known blanket licences that are free and easy to use.

• A creator needs only to do one thing - select the type of licence they want from the CC website!

OER: How it all works

What is CC?• CC creates a “some rights reserved”

model.

• The copyright owner retains copyright ownership in their work while inviting certain uses of their work by the public.

• CC licences create choice and options for the copyright owner.

58

59

There are 4 primary licence elements which are mixed to create a licence:

Attribution – attribute the author

Non-commercial – no commercial use

No Derivative Works – no remixing

ShareAlike – remix only if you let others remix

See the CC information pack at:http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/956

Attributing CC material The new CC licences have ‘common-sense attribution’.

Best practice is that you label materials with:

• Title

• Author/copyright owner,

• Source – Link to work

• Licence – Name + Link

It is important to always check whether the creator has specified a particular attribution.

Open Attribute (http://openattribute.com) is a tool to assist users of CC material to properly attribute. Once downloaded, it will attribution information for CC licensed content which users can copy and paste into their own work containing CC material.

For further information on attributing CC material, see:http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/956
