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.

Indeed! 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).

| Thanks for these two useful reference points. What I would like to
| establish is whether placing a recording on a website or VLE constitute
| a "public broadcast" as referred to in your staff guidelines:
| 
| "You will infringe an individual's performance rights if, without their
| consent, you record their performance or play a recording (which was
| made without consent) in public."

| 		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?
