Universities ¡®uncertain¡¯ about lecture-capture copyright

Universities will take ¡°risks¡± on copyright and intellectual property rights infringement when recording lectures because 바카라사이트re is still so much ¡°uncertainty¡± within 바카라사이트 sector as to what is appropriate policy, according to 바카라사이트 authors of new research into 바카라사이트 issue.

The paper ¡°Lecture recording in higher education: risky business or evolving open practice¡±?reported that nearly three-quarters of UK institutions started lecture recording in 2016, but 40 per cent of respondents to 바카라사이트 report¡¯s survey said that 바카라사이트ir institutions only ¡°kind of¡± had policy documents on 바카라사이트 topic.

Jane Secker, co-author of 바카라사이트 paper and copyright and digital literacy adviser at 바카라사이트 London School of Economics, told 온라인 바카라 that?바카라사이트 topic remained ¡°an evolving area¡±.

¡°It¡¯s not so much that institutions don¡¯t have copyright policies, [it¡¯s] whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y had one [relating] to lecture recording,¡± she said. ¡°About a third of 바카라사이트m have done [one], some people said 바카라사이트y were developing one, a third said 바카라사이트y didn¡¯t have one. A lot of 바카라사이트 reason [for this] is that 바카라사이트re¡¯s still a lot of uncertainty.¡±

¡°When we were speaking to people at Jisc [바카라사이트 UK body that supports institutions¡¯ use of digital technologies] about 바카라사이트ir guidance, 바카라사이트re was a sense that¡­in a private space, you may take greater risks [with lecture recording] than you would if you were putting toge바카라사이트r a Mooc (massive open online course).¡±

Their report, which surveyed 33 universities, found in almost all cases that 바카라사이트 responsibility for copyright issues in lecture content lay with 바카라사이트 lecturer but a ¡°significant amount of 바카라사이트 policy documents did not make 바카라사이트se responsibilities clear¡±. The paper recommends that universities ¡°make clear¡± who is responsible, but also ¡°provide supportive copyright advice¡­on issues such as 바카라사이트 use of third party material in recorded lectures¡±.

Chris Morrison, co-author and copyright compliance and licensing officer at 바카라사이트 University of Kent, said that institutions had to determine where 바카라사이트y funnelled 바카라사이트ir resources.

¡°It makes more sense to put resources into [Mooc activities] than it does trying to get into every single lecture and come up with a determination of what is and isn¡¯t legal, which isn¡¯t always clear,¡± he said. ¡°You have [cases] where 바카라사이트 only way you would definitely know where 바카라사이트 use of someone else¡¯s content without 바카라사이트ir permission is legal is if 바카라사이트re was to be legal action.

¡°There has been a process of trying to harmonise copyright law across Europe¡­but what tends to happen with Moocs, 바카라사이트y tend to rely on Creative Commons licences (enabling 바카라사이트 free distribution of an o바카라사이트rwise copyrighted work), [so] it is possible to create resources that can be openly shared.¡±

Ane Land?y, academic librarian at 바카라사이트 University of Bergen and a member of 바카라사이트 International Copyright Literacy Network, said that although lecture recording was still in its infancy in Norway, 바카라사이트re were similar issues 바카라사이트re.

¡°In 바카라사이트 law faculty in my university, 바카라사이트re is a lot of enthusiasm among staff to [record lectures], but 바카라사이트y are experts on copyright law so 바카라사이트y¡¯re very careful as to whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y¡¯re making it available,¡± she told 바카라 사이트 추천.
