This course will explore the main copyright issues related to lawfully accessing, using and producing audiovisual works (videos, images and sound) for research and educational purposes.
Aimed at researchers and teachers dealing with audiovisual works, this course will help participants understand the conditions under which audiovisual works can be used lawfully for research and educational purposes; and how mash ups and other derivative works can be created and exploited within and beyond research and educational settings.
What areas will the course cover?
Participants will gain a good understanding of the basic principles underlying UK copyright law, including protection criteria, protected subject matter, economic and moral rights, authorship and ownership, and lawful reuse, among others. Participants will also learn about the copyright exceptions that specifically apply in educational settings, as well as those which allow everyone to creatively reuse existing materials. Participants will be provided with a suite of free educational resources about copyright that they will be able to access any time to refresh or deepen their knowledge of the topics addressed during the course. In general, by the end of the course participants will be able to make more informed decisions around the copyright issues they face.
