Copyright Training for University Lecturers - A short practical online course
No full textJisc Legal has produced a ‘need to know’ online training package in copyright law – designed to bring academic staff and those supporting academic staff up to speed on legally using other people’s materials in teaching and learning. It is a standalone learning module which takes about an hour to complete and consists of some video, some audio segments, some animations and some text pages.
It is available to HE institutions in the UK to train lecture staff on the proper way to use other people’s work in their own work.
Target Audience
The target audience, in the first instance, is small to medium size learning providers. In particular front line staff that the institution decides require staff development training in copyright. The learning module will benefit institutions that need to prepare staff to deal with copyright in the learning environment. The module is particularly aimed at staff preparing, compiling and delivering learning content to learners.
Learning Outcome
After completion of the learning module a learner (member of staff) will be expected to
be aware of the legal issues with making copies of and digitising images, video, music and text materials particularly for uploading to virtual learning environments
understand the significance of ownership in the context of learning materials
understand the operation of licences in the context of learning materials
understand how materials can be altered and adapted lawfully
In particular the outcome for course participants will be an understanding of
what materials they can use
what materials they definitely should not use
what to do with materials where it is unclear whether there is permission to use them or not.
The module is tailored to suit learning providers in terms of terminology and working examples. The module have a direct benefit by the sharing of good practice among learning providers. It is flexible enough to be adapted to differing levels of responsibility within institutions and can be enabled to track which staff members have been trained.

JISC Good APIs Management Report
No full textThe JISC funds research and innovation programmes in the use of ICT in teaching, learning and in the building of knowledge and service development. Recent JISC programmes have supported development in the provision of machine interfaces and use of services and the JISC recognises that use and provision of APIs by developers working on JISC-funded projects is on the increase. The Good APIs project was initiated as a review of API activity in the Higher Education arena. This report is primarily a management report. It is an account of the Good APIs project methodology through two key consultation mechanisms: an online survey of and interviews with the HE developer community. Based upon the information gathered it offers a background to API use in the UK HE sector, the potential benefits of the provision of APIs and the challenges this provision can instigate. The report also reviews potential problems developers can face when using third-party APIs. Through the consultation carried out a set of best practice techniques for API creation and consumption were established, these are provided in a second report. Some conclusions have been tentatively drawn from the work carried out and a small set of recommendations made for JISC. The key recommendation is that to better support developer activities more work is need in this area (wider consultation etc.) To support these recommendations a larger number of suggestions for future work have been provided. A significant number of ideas for potential topics for future JISC reports have also been made available in the form of an appendix
