An Introduction to Copyright and Licensing

About

The practical applications in Higher Education of the most recent social or technical development (MOOCs, social media, digitisation and online collaboration etc) or regulatory changes (RCUK & HEFCE OA policies, new copyright exceptions) has led to a new level of complexity vis-à-vis Open Access and Copyright compliance.

Copyright and licensing training is an important way to build confidence, awareness and staff skills, enabling them to provide information services in compliance with the law and open educational resources.

This 1.5 hr training course provides an introduction to copyright including:

  • Components and duration of UK copyright law
  • Public domain
  • UK copyright exceptions related to teaching & research
  • Licences and how they allow specific re-use of copyright protected works
  • Copyright risk assessment
