Storytime Arrangement
Allows schools whose students are affected by government ‘stay-at-home’ orders to read Australian
children’s books online to students and families, provided:
1. Storytime is live streamed wherever possible (eg via Google Classroom, Zoom or Facebook live
streaming) and access limited to students of the school and their families.
2. If live streaming is not practical, you may make a recording of Storytime available, provided:
a) the recording is “view only” (ie no further copies can be made or downloaded) and
b) wherever possible that recording should be made available using password protected
access in a DTE (eg Google Classroom), rather than on a public site (eg Facebook).
3. You give bibliographic details of the book at the beginning of the recording – title, author,
illustrator (if applicable) and publisher.
4. Access to the recording is disabled within a month of resuming normal teaching practices and
deleted 12 months after it was made.

COVID-19 school lockdown
• Use free legal sources where possible (eg Creative Commons, YouTube, ABC iView).
• If students need to read or view content on the internet, link rather than provide copies
of the content.
• Consider subscription services that can be accessed from home (Eg Hot Maths or
Reading Eggs) rather than copying content.
• If the above are not possible, you may be able to provide copies via a DTE but the rules
differ depending on the type of material. See FAQ 4 in Part 2 of our COVID-19 School
Lockdown Copyright Guidance information sheet.
• Contact the NCU if you need further assistance.

COVID-19 school lockdown
Whether schools are allowed to use copyright material in lessons held via video conferencing (eg Zoom) or
recorded for students to watch later is a grey area. To minimise the risk, schools should:
1. only use copyright material where it is for educational purposes or instruction.
2. only use a small amount of copyright material (ie extracts) not the whole of a work, video or song etc
3. ensure the lesson or any recording is only made available to those students who need it as part of
their studies (eg via a username and password in a closed environment not on an open internet page)
4. instruct students, where possible, to only watch the lesson or recording when physically located in
their homes, not in a community space or their parent’s workplace
5. make the lesson or recording “view only”, so that no further copies can be made or downloaded
6. only make recordings available for the period of time for which they are needed
7. archive or disable access once the materials are no longer needed (eg when normal teaching
resumes).

‘Day to day’ remote and digital
teaching and learning
• Schools are not clearly permitted to use digital technologies to provide remote
teaching and learning support to Australian students in all circumstances.
• Following the principles in the previous slides may reduce (and in some cases
eliminate) the risk that your school is infringing copyright.
• However, the risk of copyright infringement through digital uses during normal
teaching periods is higher than it is during ‘lockdown’.
• For more information, see our Remote and Digital Learning information sheet.

Seeking permission and consents
Seeking permission Consent from students
Schools only need to seek the copyright owner’s permission
when:
• they are not able to rely on a statutory or voluntary
licence or educational use exception to use material in
the way they intend (eg if uploading resource to a
public school website)
• the material is not licensed under Creative Commons.
To seek permission, you will need to:
• figure out who the copyright owner is
• write/email them to seek permission.
Consent is required from a student (or their guardian) if a
school is using material created by students and/or using
photos or videos of students internally (eg on a password
protected DTE or classroom) or externally (eg on the school
website or social media platforms like Facebook or
YouTube):
• in class activities
• in documents, newsletters, displays, journals,
professional development materials used internally or
externally
• as part of marketing materials for the school (eg an
information booklet, poster or on the school website).
For information about when permission is required and sample permission requests, see

Benefits for schools
20
Cheaper: saves money on copyright fees and administrative costs of seeking permission. Education resources
can be shared freely online with very low transaction costs.
Equitable: offers equal access to knowledge for everyone and allows for education resources to be adapted
for minorities and those with disabilities.
Collaborative: encourages collaboration and creates communities based on sharing of education resources.
Can share resources on public websites and social media.
Adaptable: enables educators to reuse, remix and adapt resources since the copyright owner has already
given permission to everyone (eg by translating or using local examples).
Safer: free to reuse, remix, redistribute and adapt education resources without running the risk of breaching the
complex copyright rules.
Internet compatible: it is better adapted to the Internet and the freedom which the Internet provides to copy,
distribute, adapt and remix resources.
Accessible: over 2 billion Creative Commons licensed works.

40
• Schools are encouraged to use CC licensed resources as well as
licence learning resources they create under CC, where possible.
• This is because teachers can do more with CC licensed material and it
is free to access, use, modify and share.
• For more information on how to do this, see

Adding a CC licence to
learning resources
41
To license a learning resource that you’ve created under CC, all you have to do is:
1. choose your CC licence: https://creativecommons.org/choose/
2. copy the CC Licence icon
3. paste the icon onto the resource along with the attribution information and/or any other
notice you would like to include and
4. include a copyright statement on the resource to reflect the CC licence.

How to label third party
content
44
There is no single correct way to label third party content, and different situations may require
more or less complicated notices and marking.
There are 2 often used mechanisms:
1. A notice next to third party content: this involves marking or notating all third party
content. To do this you should indicate directly underneath the content.
OR
2. A general notice listing all third party content: this involves giving a general notice
that identifies all third party content. This notice would usually be included in your terms of
use or copyright statement for a website or in the verso page or bibliography for a work.

Kent, a geography teacher, is preparing some teaching resources. He:
1. photocopies material from a textbook to hand out to students in his class
2. uploads a list of website links to his school’s DTE for his students to access
3. scans and uploads an entire novel to the school’s DTE when the novel is commercially available as
an e-book
4. downloads other people's lecture notes, student quizzes and worksheets from the internet
5. downloads a television program from ClickView to show to his class.
Is Kent allowed to do each of the activities? If yes, are there any restrictions on how he can use the
materials (eg consider copying limits, labelling requirements)?

Label – always attribute the source.
• All material created and used for educational purposes should be properly attributed.
• Attributing is important to ensure that we don't pay licence fees for material we
already own or are allowed to use – eg school created content.
• Attribution should include details such as:
o the copyright owner (eg the publisher) and/or author
o title and publication information if available (eg edition, ISBN)
o where the material was sourced from (eg URL if online).

Limit – ensure access to material is
limited to the relevant staff/students only
• Once material is communicated to an entire school or
jurisdiction, the risk of copyright infringement increases.
• Collecting societies believe that the value of content
increases with the number of people who can access it.
• Limiting access is important for cost and risk

Tips for encouraging
copyright compliance
64
Schools/administering bodies can do the following to ensure student and staff compliance with copyright
obligations:
• Encourage the use of the Smartcopying website and contact the NCU with any copyright questions.
• The NCU leads a ‘Copyright for Educators’ course – this is a free online course for all Australian school
and TAFE teachers and librarians.
• Ensure teachers and staff are aware of the Smartcopying tips – Link, Label, Limit and Clear out
material when no longer needed.
• Encourage the use of Creative Commons and OER where possible. Have a look at our short
explainers on CC and OER on the Smartcopying website.
• The NCU has developed a series of flowcharts that outline how staff can use third party material in their
learning resources.

Answers:
1) Yes, Under the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence, Kent can copy and communicate material from a textbook for his class, as long as the amount copied or communicated “does not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests” of the copyright owner. For works commonly used by teachers or those that are currently available to buy, only portions of the work can be copied for educational purposes under the licence. For these works, the ‘10% or one chapter rule’ is still a useful guide. For other works, such as older ‘out of print’ works, or works made available on the internet without any expectation of payment, teachers may be able to copy more (or even all) of a work.
Attribution/Labelling
Kent should, wherever possible, include an attribution containing sufficient information to enable Copyright Agency to identify the owner of copyright. For text and artistic works, you should include as much of the following as possible and/or practical:
the author and publisher names (it’s not enough to include just the name of the author, the author is often different from the copyright owner)
title, edition or date of publication
ISBN or ISSN and
the full URL (if copying from a website).
The attribution should be placed wherever practicable (eg below the content, in the footer of each relevant page).
2) Yes, Kent can upload a list of website links to his school’s DTE for his students to access, as linking and embedding are not copyright activities.
3) No, as noted under Answer 1, Kent can only copy and communicate a text work as long as the amount copied or communicated ‘does not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests’ of the copyright owner. Therefore, whether he can scan and upload the entire novel, depends on the novel. For works that are available to buy (such as the novel in this case), only portions of the work can be copied for educational purposes under the licence. For these works, the ‘10% or one chapter rule’ is still a useful guide. Kent can upload 10% or 1 chapter of the novel, to a password protected DTE. He should label in accordance with Answer 1 above.
4) Yes, Kent can do this under the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence. In most cases, copying freely available internet materials for educational purposes will not cause any harm to a website owner as there will often be no expectation of payment for freely available internet materials. This means teachers can ordinarily copy all of a freely available internet resource. Kent should follow the attribution requirement as noted in Answer 1.
5) Yes, Kent can do this under the Statutory Broadcast Licence. He should ensure he includes an attribution with enough detail for Screenrights to identify the owner of the copyright. For broadcasts, this includes:
the name of the program
the channel it was copied from
the date the copy was made and
the full URL (if copying from a website).
The attribution should be placed wherever practicable (eg as an intro/ending credits page).
Answers:
Yes, Samantha can live stream a school concert from the school’s website, under the Schools Music Licence.
No, she cannot share a video recording to her personal Facebook page. Under the Schools Music Licence she can only share to an official school social media account.
Yes, Samantha can display lyrics at a school assembly where parents are present, under the Schools Music Licence, provided this is for a school purpose.
Yes, Samantha can play music at a school swimming carnival under the Schools Music Licence.
As this would be classified as non-educational purposes, she will only be able to play the film if the school is covered by the Co-Curricular Licence or it has sought permission from the non-theatrical distributor of the film to play it for non-educational purposes.
Answers:
1)Yes, Carol can play an episode of a Netflix documentary to her class under s 28.
2) Yes, Carol may be able to format shift a CD to MP3 to upload to the school’s DTE where it is not commercially available to purchase, under the flexible dealing exception. This exception may apply if:
she cannot rely on any other licence or exception, and
she needs the material for educational instruction (eg teaching a particular lesson or course) and
the use does not conflict with the normal exploitation of the material. This means that if Carol can buy the material in the format she needs within a reasonable time, or obtain a licence for her proposed use on reasonable terms, she they must do so.
If Carol meet those criteria, then she may be able to rely on the flexible dealing exception provided she:
ensure no further copies or downloads can be made (view only)
limit access to the students/classes that need it for the specific instructional purpose
only use the amount of material that she needs
only make the material available for the time needed for the course of study.
Note whether the exception applies must be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Labelling requirements: There is no requirement to label material copied under the flexible dealing exception. However, it is best practice to mark material copied with the following notice to limit potential liability of the school in the event that a student uses the content in a way that may infringe copyright:
‘This material has been copied [and communicated to you] in accordance with the exam copying exception in section 200AB of the Copyright Act. Any further reproduction or communication of this material by you may be the subject of copyright protection under the Act. Do not remove this notice.’
3) Yes, Carol can do this under the disability access exceptions.
4) Yes, under the exam copying exception in section 200(1A) of the Copyright Act, Carol can copy a clip from a film and provide student access for use in an online exam, even if the film is commercially available. This exam may also apply to practice exams.
5) No, Carol would need to purchase as many copies of the book as required (one copy per student), rather than make her own recording.
Answers:
1) Yes, all Issy needs to do to license a learning resource that she has created under CC, is:
Choose her CC licence: https://creativecommons.org/choose/
Copy the CC Licence icon
Paste the icon onto the resource along with the attribution information and/or any other notice she would like to include and
Include a copyright statement on the resource to reflect the CC licence.
All Creative Commons Licence icons, can be found on the Creative Commons Licence Chooser website: https://creativecommons.org/choose/.
The copyright statement and CC licence can be placed on the first and/or last page of the resource or the footer of the resource so that it travels onto every page.
2) Yes, Issy can use a photo that was released under a CC BY License in her resource. A CC BY licence is an attribution licence, so she must attribute the creator. ‘Common-sense’ principles apply to providing attribution across all CC licences. When attributing a work under a CC licence she should:
credit the creator
provide the title of the work
provide the URL where the work is hosted
indicate the type of licence it is available under and provide a link to the licence (so others can find out the licence terms); and
keep intact any copyright notice associated with the work.
It is important to always check whether the creator has specified a particular attribution.
3) No, Issy cannot change the illustration. A CC Attribution-No Derivative Works (BY-ND) licence only gives permission to copy, redistribute (publish, display, publicly perform or communicate the work) verbatim copies, and license to others. So, she cannot adapt or modify the resource.
4) If Issy’s resource contains third party material (ie material not owned by her) that she does not have the right to license under the Creative Commons licence, then she will need to expressly exclude this material from the Creative Commons licence.
