• 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

“The New Flexible Dealing Exception – What am I allowed to do?”:http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/542

35

s 200AB: Flexible Dealing - Examples

1. Compile short extracts of audio-visual material for use in class (eg making DVD of short films clips from VHS or digital files when it is not possible to purchase similar teaching resources.

2. Format shift audiovisual content from CD to digital for use on iPads, etc lacking CD-ROM drives when it is not possible to buy a digital version of the film or sound recording.

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

s 200AB and Commercial DVDs

Cannot copy from commercial DVDs.

• Commercial DVDs are protected by ATPMs - access control technological protection measures.

• ATPMs – any technology that prevents a user from easily accessing and copying the content on a DVD.

• It is illegal to circumvent an ATPM (eg CSS)

• Making a digital copy of a commercial DVD is likely to involve circumventing the ATPM and therefore is illegal.

See information sheet ‘Technological Protection Measures and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006’: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/526


37

s 200AB: Flexible Dealing Dos and Don’ ts

• 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 '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?” http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/542

“Format Shifting and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006: what am I allowed to do?”: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/529



38

s 200AB: Flexible Dealing Dos and Don’ts

• Don’t copy more than you need. If you copy too large an amount, it might not be covered by this exception.

Tricky areas: YouTube and iTunes

The terms of YouTube and iTunes provide that the content can only be used for ‘personal, non-commercial’ use.

This may not include copying by educational institutions for ‘educational use’.

This is changing…. YouTube for Education, iTunes Volume Licensing coming soon.

4141

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 now allows video owners to upload their videos under a Creative Commons licence so they can share their work with others.

Teachers Tube is a great alternative: www.teachertube.com For further information: “YouTube: Use by Teachers” : http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/855

YouTube: Linking and Streaming

Practical alternatives to copying videos off YouTube include:

• Directly streaming YouTube videos in class (permitted under s 28) – from YouTube website or via a link embedded on another website.

• Linking or embedding the YouTube video. Not a copyright activity - you are not copying the content.

See information sheets: “YouTube: Use by Teachers” http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/855

“Performance and Communication of works and audio-visual materialin class – What am I allowed to do?”


Smartcopying tips…

Link – link or embed material whenever possible. Don't download or copy.

Providing a link is not a copyright activity. You are not copying the content, just providing a

reference to its location elsewhere.

45


Label – always attribute the source.

• All material created and used for educational purposes should be properly attributed.

• Applies to both photocopied and digital material

• Attribution info needs to include details of the copyright owner and/or author, where the material was sourced from and when.

See labelling information sheet at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/532

46



Label – always attribute the source.

• Attributing is important to ensure that we don't pay licence fees for material we already own or are allowed to use

• eg teacher/school/student created content

See labelling information sheet at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/532

47



Limit – ensure access to material is limited to relevant students only

Once material is communicated to an entire institute/campus or jurisdiction, the risk of copyright infringement increases dramatically.

48



Limiting access is an important cost management practice.

Collecting societies believe that the value of content increases with the number of people who can access it.

49



Access to s200AB copies must be limited to those students who need to use the material for educational instruction, ie one class as opposed to an entire school.

50


Clear out unwanted content regularlyMaterial copied and communicated under the Statutory Licences is paid for again for every 12 months it remains 'live'.

Clearing out material that is no longer required is one practical way of managing the copyright costs.

51


Clear out unwanted content regularly

Two options:

Archive – for material that is not currently being used but is likely to be used in the future.

Move it into a closed area on the repository or elsewhere online where it can only be accessed by one person, such as the school librarian, ICT Manager or teacher who uploaded the material to repository in the first place.

52


Clear out unwanted content regularly

Two options:

Delete – for material that the school no longer requires for educational purposes should be completely deleted from the repository.

53


Use Open Education Resources

• Material whose owner has given permission for the material to be used for educational purposes, for free

• Depending on the licence, OER can also be modified and shared by teachers and students.

Some Copyright Challenges

• While there is a lot that teachers can copy, the licence schemes and free use exceptions are restrictive and complicated:

• Teachers are burdened with complex copying limits and mandatory notice requirements under the Statutory Licences.

• Teachers cannot modify, share or remix material except in limited circumstances.

• The material can only be made available to parents and the community in limited circumstances.

Free for education, open education and creative commons material is a great alternative!

See list of Free for education/Open education resources on smartcopying at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/933

See Creative Commons information pack on smartcopying at:http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/953

58

Open Education Resources

• 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 includes resources of all sorts: worksheets, curriculum materials, lectures, homework assignments, quizzes, class activities, pedagogical materials, games and many more resources from around the world.

See: www.oercommons.org

59

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.

OER in a nutshell

OER is about creating repositories of material which are free to:

AccessUse

ModifyShare

60

61

Creative Commons

62

OER and Creative Commons

• Most OER resources use Creative Commons (CC) licences.

• This is because CC licences are well known blanket licences that are free and easy to use.

• A creator needs only to do one thing - select the type of licence they want from the CC website!

OER: How it all works

What is CC?• CC creates a “some rights reserved”

model.

• 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.
