Week 5: Readings

Overview

This week you will learn about exceptions to copyright, focusing on exceptions that apply specifically to educators. Some of the most extensive exceptions to copyright under the Australian system apply to teachers, allowing use of material for educational purposes and in classroom environments. These exceptions are completely free unlike the licences discussed in weeks 3 and 4. However, there are limitations and it is important as teachers that you know when the exceptions apply and what is/is not permitted under these exceptions.
