Blended Learning and Copyright

Why is Copyright Important? Copyright, Designs and Patents Act (CDPA) 1988 What works are covered and for how long? Permission is often needed, however there are some exceptions. Consider the following when deciding what, if any, 3 rd party materials to include in your learning and teaching materials: 1. Do you have a licence to use it? 2. Do you have permission to use it? 3.

The University will therefore normally be considered to be the publisher of material produced by staff in their normal day to day activities. Research and Publication Externally funded contract terms may supersede your Contract of Employment T&C’s. Publishing agreements – copyright is usually assigned to the publisher, but this can be open to negotiation. A useful site to check publishers’ standard terms is
