Lectopia
Staff can show copyright material in a lecture or teaching session where only staff and students are in attendance without breaching copyright.
However if the lecture is then recorded via Lectopia and made available online, that subsequent use could potentially breach copyright. So staff must be aware of the following if they want to include copyright material in lectures being recorded using Lectopia:
Text and images
You must comply with copying limits and display the electronic document notice.
Moving images (TV, DVDs, internet)
The only form of moving image which can be made available via Lectopia is material copied off a television broadcast. For this material the electronic audio-visual notice must be displayed.
No other copyright moving image material may be made available via Lectopia.If recording a lecture using Lectopia while showing a commercial DVD you must stop the recording process while the DVD is being played. Only the audio of your spoken delivery of the lecture (and other visual material such as PowerPoint slides) can be made available to students
Music
Swinburne has a licence with a number of copyright collecting societies that allows the use of certain sound recordings for educational purposes. If you play such a sound recording during a lecture, you can make the lecture available to students via Lectopia but not for downloading. It must only be made available for streaming. The required music licence copyright warning notice and details of the work must be shown.
PowerPoint
If PowerPoint slides shown via Lectopia include third party copyright material you must apply the same requirements as outlined above. For the material you are authorised to use under one of the copyright licences you should display the appropriate copyright warning notice at the start of the presentation.
