Adam, You could have a look at the JISC Legal website www.jisclegal.ac.uk which has a section for Copyright/IPR. For example FAQs like this one http://www.jisclegal.ac.uk/ManageContent/ViewDetail/tabid/243/ID/862/Intellectual-Property-FAQs.aspx#Q5 If you're in FE or HE in the UK you can also contact JISC Legal directly for advice. There's also some brief advice on the JISC Digital Media website that may be useful. http://www.jiscdigitalmedia.ac.uk/crossmedia/advice/introduction-to-the-use-of-vles-with-digital-media/ Swansea University has some staff guidelines here http://www.swan.ac.uk/lis/HelpAndGuides/copyright/BBcopyright/ hope this helps.

We wondered whether "in public" included being behind a username and password (which plainly isnt public if the general public cannot themselves obtain a username). adam | -----Original Message----- | From: Virtual Learning Environments [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On | Behalf Of Charlotte Stock | Sent: 13 January 2010 14:39 | To: [log in to unmask] | Subject: Re: [VLES] copyright | | Thanks for these two useful reference points.

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? | | adam | | ***************** List information: ***************** | Remember - replies go by default to the entire list. | Access the list via the web on | http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/vle.html | To unsubscribe, email [log in to unmask] with the | message: leave vle | | | | No virus found in this incoming message. | Checked by AVG - www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/> | | Version: 9.0.725 / Virus Database: 270.14.136/2616 - | Release Date: 01/12/10 | 19:35:00 | | | ***************** List information: ***************** | Remember - replies go by default to the entire list. | Access the list via the web on | http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/vle.html | To unsubscribe, email [log in to unmask] with the | message: leave vle | | | | | ***************** List information: ***************** Remember - | replies go by default to the entire list.
