New Technologies


Teachers are using a variety of new
technologies in the classroom.
This includes:
•
•
•
•
Interactive whiteboards
Wikis and blogs
YouTube and iTunes
Mobile devices including iPods, MP3 players and
mobile phones
See information sheets: “Using wikis and blogs”
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/944

Digital Content Repositories

Many schools and jurisidictions are also creating
content repositories.

In most cases, access to these repositories is password
protected.

A content repository is a digital space where content
can be stored, accessed and shared amongst a group
of people. This includes learning management systems
such as Moodle, BlackBoard and ClickView, intranets,
portals, interactive whiteboard galleries and media
libraries.

What can teachers copy and
communicate on these technologies?
There is a lot that teachers can do on these
technologies!
There are:
A. Statutory Licences
B. Free Use Exceptions
Which allow schools to use copyright
materials without the permission of the
copyright owner.
4
Part VB: Statutory Text and Artistic
Licence
•
•
Under this licence, a teacher can copy and
communicate literary, dramatic, artistic and
musical works subject to copying limits.
Covers text books, newspaper articles, journal
articles, paintings, diagrams, photographs,
animations, song lyrics, plays, poems and maps
in hard copy and electronic form including free
and publicly available internet sites.
5
Statutory Text and Artistic
Licence
Has two schemes:
1. Hard Copying: photocopying hard copy print
and artistic material
2. Electronic Use Scheme (EUS): copying
and communicating electronic print and artistic
material
6
Statutory Text and Artistic
Licence
Common activities covered by the EUS include:
1.
Scanning a hard copy book
2.
Printing, saving and downloading material from the Internet
(eg online articles and images) and electronic resources
such as CD Roms and E-books
3.
Uploading material onto a digital repository, school intranet,
learning management system (LMS), class wiki or blog, or
interactive whiteboard
4.
Copying material onto potable devices including iPods,
MP3 players, mobile phones and a USB
7
Photographs
1.
Is the photograph still in copyright?
•
If taken post 2005: lifetime of author plus 70 (published and unpublished
photographs)
•
If taken pre 2005:
•
Published photographs: 50 years from end of year photograph taken
•
Unpublished photographs: 50 years from the end of year work published
See Smartcopying at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/662
2.
If yes, does the school own copyright in the photograph?
•
If a teacher or staff member of the school took the photograph, copyright
belongs to the school. The school can upload the photograph to:
•
Public online space (note: privacy issues)
•
Password protected online space, eg school intranet, learning
management system or class wiki/blog
See Smartcopying at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/660
8
Photographs
If the school does not own copyright in the photograph,
it must either:
a.
Seek written permission from the copyright owner for its use; or
•
This is known as a licence. You must tell the copyright owner what you want to
do with the photograph so they can decide whether to grant you permission.
See Smartcopying at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/653
b.
Rely on Statutory Text and Artistic Licence
•
Photograph can only be uploaded to a password protected space for students,
teachers and school staff only eg school intranet, learning management
system, class wiki or blog.
•
Must include the mandatory statutory notice:
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/705
See Smartcopying at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/700
9
Statutory Text and Artistic Licence:
Copying from websites
•
•
•
•
Some teachers mistakenly believe that material available
on the Internet is free of copyright.
This is not true. Internet material is protected by copyright!
Some websites are ‘free for education’ – this means that
material on the website can be copied for educational
purposes.
Website terms and conditions will determine whether a
website is ‘free for education’.
For further information on website terms and conditions, see information sheet
‘Understanding Website Terms and Conditions’ on the Smartcopying website:
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/999

Statutory Text and Artistic Licence:
Simultaneous Storage Rule

The Statutory Text and Artistic Licence does
not allow two parts of a work, eg. two 10%
excerpts of a text book, online at the same
time.

To minimise risk of infringement, measures
must be taken to restrict access to this
material to relevant classes only.
13
Statutory Text and Artistic Licence:
Mandatory Notice

You must attach a mandatory notice to all
copies made available on an interactive
whiteboard, learning management system,
wiki, blog or school intranet.

This noticed is required by the Copyright Act.
A copy of this is available on the Smartcopying website at:
www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/705
14
Part VA Statutory Broadcast Licence
Covers the copying and communication of:
• Off-air television and radio broadcasts
• Podcasts and webcasts which originated as
free-to-air broadcasts and are available on the
broadcaster’s website
Doesn’t cover podcasts/webcasts:
• from Pay TV sources
• which have not been broadcast
For more information see:
“Education Licence A” in the “National Copyright Guidelines”:
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/699
15
Part VA: Statutory Broadcast Licence
•
•
•
•
No limit on how much you can copy.
Format shifting is permitted.
If you want to put a copy on an interactive
whiteboard, LMS, wiki, blog or school
intranet, you must attach a notice.
This notice is required by the Copyright Act.
A copy of this notice is available at:
www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/704
16
s28 Performing or Communicating
Material to a Classroom
• Does not apply to ‘copying’ material.
• Allows schools to perform and
communicate material in class, or
otherwise in the presence of audience.
• It is a free use exception – no fees are
paid.
See information sheet:
“Performance and Communication of works and audio-visual
material – What am I allowed to do?” :
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/544
17
s.200AB: Flexible Dealing
•
•
•
•
Rely on flexible dealing when no statutory licence or
free use exception applies to your use.
Teachers may copy videos (eg YouTube) and sound
recordings (eg podcasts, music) under flexible dealing
subject to certain requirements.
Flexible dealing will not apply where it is possible to
purchase a similar teaching resource
Flexible dealing is a free use exception – no fees are
paid.
See information sheet:
“The New Flexible Dealing Exception – What am I allowed to do?”:
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/542
19
Flexible Dealing Requirements
1. Is my use covered by a statutory
licence or exception?
- Is my use covered by Part VB of the Act (the Statutory Text and Artistic Licence)?
- Is my use covered by Part VA of the Act (the Statutory Broadcast Licence)?
- Is my use covered by another exception?
No
2. Am I using this for giving
educational instruction?
Am I teaching in a classroom or remotely, preparing to teach, compiling resources for
student homework or research or doing something for the purpose of teaching?
Yes
3. Is my use non-commercial?
Am I, my students, or the school making a profit or getting commercial advantage
from this? (Cost recovery is OK)
Yes
4. Is my use a special case?
- Is my use narrow in a qualitative and quantitative sense?
- Is my use only what I need for my teaching purpose?
Yes
5. Does my use conflict with normal
exploitation?
No
6. Would I unreasonably prejudice
the copyright owner?
No
Covered by 200AB
- Can I buy or get a licence for this use?
- Is this use a way the copyright owner usually makes money from their work?
- Will I deprive the copyright owner of significant revenue now or in the near future?
-
Am I taking more than I need?
Am I exposing the material to a risk of piracy?
Am I interfering with the quality of the material?
If I answer yes to any of these questions, is there something I can do to minimise
any prejudice?
Flexible Dealing Uses
1. Make captioned versions of films for hearing impaired students
when it is not possible to buy the captioned version.
2. Compile short extracts of audio-visual material for use in class (eg
making DVD of short extracts of several films for a Film Studies or
English class) when it is not possible to purchase similar teaching
resources.
3. Convert a film or sound recording on DVD/CD to a digital file
format when it is not possible to buy a digital version of the film or
sound recording.
4. Include short extracts of music in PowerPoint teaching aids.
See information sheet:
“Flexible Dealing and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006 –
What am I allowed to do?”
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/542
21
Flexible Dealing and ATPMs


•
•
Anecdotal evidence suggests that teachers are copying extracts of
DVDs or making digital copies of DVDs to produce educational
resources.
In doing so, they are inadvertently circumventing Access
Technological Protection Measures (ATPMs).
ATPMs are technologies which restrict access to copyright material.
Most commercial DVDs are protected by an ATPM known as ‘region
coding’.
It is illegal to remove/disable an ATPM in order to copy extracts of a
DVD or format shift the DVD into digital format.
Note: Most VHS tapes are not protected by ATPMs.
See information sheets: “Format Shifting and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006 : What am I allowed to do?”
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/529
“Technological Protection Measures and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006”
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/522
22
Flexible Dealing Dos and Don’ts
•
•
Do not use pirated material.
‘Just in case’ format shifting is not permitted:
• Schools cannot make ‘back up’ copies of resources ‘in
case’ the original is destroyed.
• Schools are not allowed to format shift their whole
library or collection (eg, from video tape to DVD or a
content management system) 'just in case' it will be
useful later on. Any format shifting needs to be done for
the purpose of giving educational instruction in the near
future.
See information sheets:
“Flexible Dealing and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006 – What am I allowed to do?”

23
Flexible Dealing Dos and Don’ts
•
•
•
•
Try not to copy more than you need. If you copy too large
an amount, it might not be covered by this exception.
Access to s 200AB copies must be limited to those
students who need to use the material for a class exercise,
homework or research task
Remove the s 200AB copy from the LMS, school intranet,
class blog/wiki, portal or interactive media gallery as soon
as practical once it is no longer required for the class,
homework or research task.
Label s 200AB copies with words similar to:
‘Copied under s200AB of the Copyright Act 1968’
See information sheet: “Flexible Dealing and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006 –
What am I allowed to do?”

Note: Most commercial DVDs are
protected by ATPMs and cannot be

an ATPM.
Cassette tapes and CDs
25
Tricky copyright areas:
YouTube, iTunes and iTunes U

Teachers are increasingly using YouTube
videos, iTunes music and applications as well
as iTunes U content.

The terms of YouTube, iTunes and iTunes U
provide that the content can only be used for
‘personal, non-commercial’ use.

This does not include copying by educational
institutions for ‘educational use’.
26
Tricky copyright areas:
YouTube, iTunes and iTunes U

It is arguable that some of these contracts
are not enforceable due to insufficient notice
of the terms and conditions to the consumer.

However, in cases such as iTunes where the
consumer is prompted to accept the terms
and conditions during purchase, it is likely
that the contract terms and conditions are
enforceable.
27
iTunes
Can I play music purchased from iTunes in class?
•
•
•
s. 28 allows for music to be communicated by teachers in the course
of educational instruction, however, the iTunes terms and conditions
only allow users to purchase music for "personal, non-commercial
use" and not for "educational use".
The terms and conditions are likely to be enforceable because the
purchaser is given sufficient notice prior to purchase. The purchaser is
prompted to ‘accept’ the terms and conditions.
Because it is unclear, we recommend that you format shift the song
you want to use from a CD into MP3 format. This may be permitted
under flexible fair dealing if all conditions are met.
See information sheet: “Flexible Dealing and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006 –
What am I allowed to do?”
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/542
28
YouTube
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.
It is arguable that the terms and conditions do not form a contract and therefore
are not enforceable because sufficient notice is not provided.
YouTube is now testing an option that will allow video owners to upload their
videos under a Creative Commons so they can share their work with others.
Teachers Tube is a great alternative:
www.teachertube.com
See information sheets: “YouTube: Use by Teachers”
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/855
“Teachers Tube: Use by Teachers”
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/858
29
Practical Alternatives:
Linking and Streaming

Practical alternatives to copying videos off YouTube
include:
•
•
Directly streaming YouTube videos in class (permitted
under s 28) The streaming may be directly from the
YouTube website or through a link to a YouTube video
embedded on another website.
Linking to the YouTube video. Linking is not a copyright
activity as you are not actually copying the content,
rather providing a path to its location on another site.
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?”
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/544
30
Practical Alternative:
Embedding Videos
Can I embed a link to videos on another website?
•
•
•
•
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.

Smartcopying tips…
Link to material whenever possible.
•
Providing a link to material is not a copyright activity. This is
because you are not actually copying the content, but rather
providing a pathway to its location on another site.
Embed material whenever possible.
•
Embedding is another type of linking. It involves copying the
HTML code of the film, which is often displayed in a box near
the film, and pasting it onto your website. The result of this is,
rather than displaying the link, it will show a small screen of the
film on your website.
32
Smartcopying tips…
All material must be attributed.
•
•
•
•
It is important that all material created and used by the
school for educational purposes is properly attributed.
This includes material that is photocopied and material
that is copied digitally.
Attribution information needs to include details of the
copyright owner and author (if different), where the
material was sourced from and when.
Attributing material is important to ensure that original
material created by a student, teacher or jurisdiction or
that has been licensed is removed from survey data and
therefore is not paid for.
33
Smartcopying tips…
Use Open Education, Free for Education and
Creative Commons material possible.
•
•
•
The copyright owner of this material has already given
permission for the material to be used for educational
purposes.
As a result, this material is available for free!
Depending on the terms of the licence, this material can
also be modified and shared by teachers and students.
34
Smartcopying tips…
Access to material is limited to relevant
students only

Once material is communicated to an entire school
or jurisdiction, the risk of copyright infringement
increases dramatically.

Further, limiting access to material is an important
cost management practice. CAL and Screenrights
believe that the value of content increases with the
number of people who can access and view it.
35
Smartcopying tips…
Material is flushed from the system
regularly

Material copied and communicated under the
Statutory Licences is paid for again every 12 months.
This is because another ‘communication’ of the
material is deemed to have occurred.

Flushing material from a repository that is no longer
required for educational purposes is one practical
way of managing the copyright costs.
36
Smartcopying tips…

In summary, it is best practice to:
• Link to material whenever possible
• Ensure that all material is labelled
• Ensure that the mandatory notice
requirements have been complied with
• Limit what is copied to what is needed for
educational purposes
37
OER - Definition

Open Educational Resources (‘OER’) is 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
38
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.
39
Open Education Resources
Some good OER sites include:
1. Curriki: http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome
2. OER Commons: www.oercommons.org/
3. Encyclopaedia of Life: www.eol.org/
4. Comprehensive Knowledge Archive
Network: www.ckan.net/
5. Connexions: www.cnx.org/
6. Teaching Ideas: www.teachingideas.co.uk/
The Smartcopying website lists Open Education Resources:

40
OER and FFE
•
•
•
‘Free for education’ (FFE) material is similar to OER
material in that the copyright owner has given
permission for the material to be used for educational
purposes.
However, FFE material may not permit a teacher to
communicate, modify or share the material. This will
depend on the terms and conditions of use of the
material.
Many websites are FFE because their terms and
conditions allow copying for educational purposes.
The Smartcopying website lists FFE:
www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/936
41
Example
‘You may download, display, print and copy any material at this website, in
unaltered form only, for you personal use, educational use or for noncommercial use within your organisation’
www.reconciliation.org.au
42
Other Free for Education Initiatives


A number of organisations have agreed to make
their online material free for education:
• Enhance TV Website http://www.enhancetv.com.au
• Museum Victoria http://museumvictoria.com.au
• Cancer Council http://www.cancer.org.au/Home.htm
• World Vision http://www.worldvision.com.au
Material available on these websites can be copied
for ‘educational purposes’.
The Smartcopying website lists FFE websites:
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/936
43
OER and Creative Commons



Most OER resources use Creative Commons (CC)
licences.
This is because CC are well known, free, easy to use and
no lawyers are needed.
CC licences come expressed in three different formats:
•
•
•

Commons Deed (human-readable code),
Legal Code (lawyer-readable code);
Metadata (machine-readable code).
A creator needs only to do one thing - select the type of
licence they want from the CC website!

CC makes copyright easy..

Using Creative Commons (CC) material enables the
education sector to overcome copyright barriers.

CC material is freely available for teachers and students to
copy, modify and reuse.

This is important in the digital era where content can be
created, accessed and shared in new and exciting ways
globally.

The National Copyright Unit and CC Australia have
developed an information pack for teachers and students on
finding, using and attributing CC material. This pack can be
found on the Smartcopying website at:
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/956
46
What is CC?

CC creates a “some rights reserved” model.

This means that 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.

47
CC Primary Licence Elements
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
