Audiovisual and music

Use in teaching

Individual academic staff members are responsible for ensuring that all content presented in their digital teaching material is copyright compliant. Copyright law allows limited use of AV material in universities. Not all content that can be used in the classroom can be used in a recorded version of the classroom session. The boundary for legitimate use of content is often clearly drawn between classroom use and online communication, such as via an iLearn subject site.

Classroom/online use:

Streamed media can be shown in class (face to face or online).
You can show, but not record, websites that include multimedia content in class. Multimedia material from a website cannot be embedded into any class recording. Provide a link for your students to this material via your subject resources list or in the Collaborate, or Zoom, chat window.
You can show off-air recordings, including podcasts that originated as broadcasts, in class.
Commercially produced DVDs or videos may only be shown/played to students in the classroom. This content must be edited out of any recording of the lecture, or class.
Generally, AV materials cannot be reproduced or communicated without the express permission of the copyright owner.
Always remember to fully acknowledge the source of the AV material.
The Warning Notice must be displayed whenever third-party material is communicated in a PowerPoint presentation or lecture recording.

See the Recording Lectures page for information on what AV content can and cannot be recorded in Collaborate.
