Copyright is a set of rights that automatically attach to the creator of an original piece of work – literary work, song, film, image or software. When creating content or encouraging students to do so, it is important that copyright is observed. Copyright and publishing policies should be covered in your school’s Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).
Creative Commons Licensing allows creators to specify how their created material can be used. It does not mean that the creator has relinquished their copyright, rather, they are offering some of their rights to any member of the public under certain conditions. Once you begin to create content, it’s important that you know how to create a licence for your work. Teachers and learners can use creativecommons.com/choose to help share and protect their work
When a teacher or learner uses an image with a Creative Commons Licence, it must be attributed in a particular way. The image adjacent outlines the different types of copyright typically encountered.
