Colin,
Your phrase 'copy for classroom use only and without infringing copyright at
all' is not as simple as it sounds. You do go on to say 'that pupils can use
in their own work' but this also cannot be taken as a simple statement.
What pupils need to be able to do is dis-aggregate content completely, even
down to using parts of images. Then they need not just permission to copy
but permission to completely re-purpose in whatever way they like (as long
as moral rights of original creators are respected, e.g. images not being
associated with material damaging to the reputation of the creator.).
Then on top of this, only being able to publish their work in the classroom
is very restrictive in these days of the Internet and learning platforms.
They need permission to re-publish images in their work, to important
constituents such as family or peers they are working with collaboratively,
who are possibly in schools in other countries.
If you compare this statement of requirement with the terms and conditions
in the small print in museum/gallery/library/archive websites, you will find
a considerable mis-match.
This is why people who have thought this through properly - such as LT
Scotland - know that a 'Pritt-stick approach' to digital images is needed,
and to get that it is often simpler to start from scratch and create your
own image bank, getting the Ts&Cs right from the start.
There is a very big issue here which is constraining development of new
pedagogy, that no-one in officialdom in England is tackling.
However, I would be very interested to hear of anything you do find that
permits the above kind of usage.
Regards
Roger.
