14 >>> Teaching Materials and University Materials... are owned by the University. So, for instance, if you write a text book which includes text from some Teaching Materials which you created, then that part of the text book will be owned by the University. If you want to do a deal with a publisher relating to the text book, then you would need the University's consent. This includes making the book available on-line. So it is much simpler not to include any material that is taken from Teaching Materials or University Materials, to avoid problems later on. Teaching Materials... are materials which are primarily intended to be used or accessed by students for the purposes of any course of study they are following. > It does not matter what format the materials are in. > They can include demonstration equipment or models. > They include not only hard copy materials such as lecture notes, but also things like software supporting a teaching resource and audiovisual materials. Teaching Materials are dealt with below in more detail. University Materials... are those which are produced for administrative purposes, such as student and staff recruitment, or any other University purpose. They also include any item created by an employee of the University whose job description specifically includes the creation of printed or electronic materials. Teaching Materials - When you are creating Teaching Materials, it is up to you to identify copyright material that belongs to someone else and to get their permission to use it. Alternatively, if the University agrees, you can give the University enough information so that it can get the permission itself. The University can also require you to omit any such material from your Teaching Materials if there are any issues relating to its ownership. Fair Dealing - There are some exceptions under copyright law which allow "fair dealing" with other people's copyright material for certain purposes. Best practice is always to ask for the copyright owner's permission first. Keep a record of all materials used and their sources, in case these need to be checked later.
