Introduction

JISC’s expectations
At least 50% external content
– These should be materials produced externally to the institution and that do not have any connection with the institution leading the bid
JISC expect that materials not already freely available to the UK HE sector would be made so during the course of the project
Use materials from programmes such as the JISC Digitisation programme, JORUM, D4L, X4L, DEL, JISC Collections and the SFC eLearning Transformation Programme
Learning materials released to the UK HE sector, through an appropriate accessible repository – JORUM
Openly available on the Internet?
Available in the long term?

Why a project support function?
“The technology that enables new types of digital publishing races ahead and the law often appears to lag behind. However, there have been significant legal advances that should warn against a cavalier approach to handling the rights which exist in materials.” John Casey, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in Networked e-Learning: A Beginners Guide for Content Developers
JISC Collections 10 April 2023 | CASPER | Slide 6
Why a project support function?
Can institutions re-use materials from the BBC web site in e-learning materials for educational purposes?

What will CASPER be doing?
Outcomes
– Templates to help institutions clear rights for the re-use of content
– Understanding of the true costs associated with rights clearance for e-learning materials
– Understanding and assessment of the training needs required to support management of IPR and e-learning content use
– Transfer of knowledge to 3rd party content owners on how institutions want to use content in e-learning
• Currently many content owners – especially academic publishers – have a knowledge gap in this area that limits existing licensing

What should you be doing now?
1. Identify the content – both from internal sources and external sources
2. Start collating and maintaining accurate, detailed records about all of content you are using in your project
