Open Research

 

Monday 28 September, 12:00 - 13:30, Mill Lane Lecture Room 5


This 1.5h interactive workshop delivered by Dr Jane Secker (Copyright and Digital Literacy Advisor, London School of Economics and Political Science) will provide you with information on:

  • What is copyright: works and usages
  • Licences – what do they allow you to do
  • Copyright exceptions, including the new and amended exceptions in 2014. 

Learning Objectives

  • Understand how copyright really works in HE;
  • Encounter existing licences and the new legislative framework;
  • Practice using the exceptions and licences in specific HE examples;
  • Discuss the role of risk management in making decisions.

The workshop is based on Copyright the Card Game, developed by Chris Morrison in conjunction with Jane Secker and Naomi Korn. Copyright the Card Game is an open educational game resource designed to train educators and information / e-learning professionals in HE and other educational institutions in UK copyright law. The resource reflects the important changes to educational copyright exceptions in 2014.
The game is designed to be played by up to 5 teams of up to 6 people and takes delegates from copyright basics through to real world scenarios which explore the relationship between licences and copyright fair dealing exceptions.

Number of spaces is limited and registration is compulsory.  Please register using the event link below.
