Copyright and Online Learning in a time of transition

Editor's Notes

  • #2 The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers and students around the world to conduct lessons and study online. In the UK, as with Canada, this led to a growth in questions about how to use copyright-protected material fairly in an online space. Morrison and Secker (2020a) highlighted these challenges, arguing that the education community already had valuable copyright exceptions and licences to help them, in addition to open educational resources. However, as the crisis continued, it became clear that a more strategic approach to copyright was required to address problems with existing licensing models for digital content and uncertainty about reliance on educational exceptions.    This presentation will outline how the copyright community in UK higher education responded to the COVID-19 challenge by building on existing communities of practice (Lave and Wenger, 1999) which have been shown to be effective at communicating tacit knowledge and understanding. This was particularly important when discussing copyright because of the need to address risk.   These discussions were carried out online, following the establishment of a webinar series in March 2020 (Morrison and Secker, 2020b). The webinars, which were hosted by the Association for Learning Technology (ALT), became an important way for the community to come together to discuss common concerns and find solutions. This led to creation of a new ALT special interest group (SIG) to provide greater support and more a sustainable network.    The Copyright and Online Learning SIG was formed in November 2020 to provide an ongoing forum for debate and discussion on copyright matters in relation to teaching online (ALT, 2021). It drew on expertise from the library, learning technology and legal communities and also has a number of international members. This session will present the aims of the group, the key priorities for the coming 12 months and the importance of communities of practice.
