Transcript Can I use it (PowerPoint)

Can I use it or can’t I?
•
For people who want to put teaching material into RADAR - and the
session will also apply to putting material into Brookes Virtual
• Looking at using images and film and video
• Concentrating on images and video that you can find on the
internet
• Looking at how to work out whether you can use the material
you’ve found
• Time for questions at the end – and do contact me to follow up
specific questions
Directorate of Learning Resources
Does the law allow me to use images for
teaching?
•
•
Basically, no
The law allows material to be copied for coursework and for private
study, but not for teaching

So can I use images from the internet?
•
This depends partly on whether the web pages explicitly say that you
can use their images
Directorate of Learning Resources
Some web sites say ‘no’ clearly
•
•
•
And this means you can’t use their images
eg the National Portrait Gallery:
http://www.npg.org.uk/
Directorate of Learning Resources
Some web sites don’t say
•
•
•
And this means you can’t use their images
eg the Ecclesiological Society
http://www.ecclsoc.org/
Directorate of Learning Resources
Some web sites say ‘yes’
•
•
•
And this means you can use their images – under the conditions they
set
Eg the National Gallery
http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/
Directorate of Learning Resources
Some web sites say ‘yes’ – but can you trust
them?
•
•
Eg, an Advanced Google Image search allows you to limit the search to
images ‘licenced for reuse’

Directorate of Learning Resources
Why you should distrust a web site’s permission
to use images
•
•
•
Because the advice is based on laws in a different country
Because they are using unsafe interpretations of the law
Because the web site doesn’t understand the law – or allows
contributions from people who don’t understand the law

•
You can show DVDs in teaching
but you can’t copy clips from DVDs or TV programmes to use in
teaching materials

Can I use film and video from the internet?

but you can link to the videos
