Copyright+information+page



Copyright is a type of property that is founded on a person's creative skill and labour. It is designed to prevent the unauthorised use by others of a work, that is, the original form in which an idea or information has been expressed by the creator.

Sandie - I have created a screencast about using the copyright website... basic direction to use help menu, find information, also using Zoomit.

How to find information on copyright for trainers, assessors, education []

Email from my luscious librarians! Hi Brigitte and Sandie,

Can’t imagine why you would find copyright dry!!! (cough, cough). I generally like to take the Creative Commons (CC) angle when discussing copyright. You can emphasise what people can use, while mentioning the need to look at terms and conditions on webpages and then slip in info like using Part VB (CAL) material. Also CC underlines the importance of attribution, which is one of life’s great mysteries to most TAFE teachers. CAL costs lots of money, so I suggest teachers only use images under CAL if they need them for demo, not cosmetic purposes.

Funky (kind of) – a resource for schools, I got permission to use a quiz as a handout in a session on copyright for art students. NOTHING BEATS THE REAL THING! []

Creative Commons info and tools: great because they promote resources which people CAN use and are free. When considering the CC licences remember that TAFE is regarded as non-commercial ( we are educational), which broadens the number of licences we can use.

ccAustralia videos - I like these videos, but may be too long to incorporate. []
