Greetings
In general I used to tell staff that for the VLE, anything that they would
be comfortable using in a face-to-face classroom was acceptable.
However, I also recommended that as good practice sources should ALWAYS be
acknowledged - good manners, academically sound and the best way to combat
the unintentional aspects of plagiarism is for them to be exemplars of good
practice in citing and quoting!

Subject: [VLES] copyright
Does anybody have any statements for staff about copyright in the context of
a VLE, ie, what is and what is not acceptable? Do people take the view that
it is different when material is within a VLE and is not (generally)
'public' but is restricted to a small group by username and password?
There's some obvious cases that we know about, eg, CLA licenced material
that has been scanned in, Creative Commons licenced material, documents that
have been written specifically for the course by institutional staff
members, but what about the classic situation where a lecturer has put their
Power Point slides into the VLE and the slides contain photos or diagrams
that have been copied from other websites etc. I'm sure everybody does this
but do any institutions give guidelines as to what is and is not acceptable
and does anybody police uploaded material or insist that a 'copyright
declaration' is completed for all uploaded material?
