Responsible management of copyrighted materials used in the classroom (whether online or face-to-face) and adherence to intellectual property law is an essential component of instructional design. Classroom materials are available in multiple formats and through multiple mediums, which has increased the complexity of managing copyrighted materials for teaching purposes.
With the assistance of the School of Graduate Studies and Research and IT Services, we've assembled a collection of resources to help you understand and adhere to the copyright restrictions that may govern the materials you use in your classroom.
We hope you'll find this information helpful and easy to follow. Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions.
