New copyright tutorial for faculty and instructors

Eight quick animated modules to help with copyright

August 23, 2017 —

The University of Manitoba has developed a Copyright Tutorial comprising eight brief, animated modules to help teaching staff.

Tutorial topics covered include the Copyright Act, Fair Dealing, content from the Internet, audiovisual material, library resources, other copyright-friendly material, managing your own copyright and more.

It’s quick and easy!

Each of the eight animated modules in the tutorial require less than 3 minutes of your time. The tutorial allows you to work at your own pace and to repeat a module as desired.

The modules contain video, audio, closed captioning (cc) and supplemental materials including additional resources and alternate formats such as plain-text scripts.

Teaching staff are asked to complete the tutorial as part of the University’s copyright due diligence.
