Educational resources exist in all formats that are recognised as ‘works’ in copyright law. To minimise the burden on teachers and students who want to make use of copyright materials as part of their teaching and learning experience, the law includes a number of exceptions that allow for the use of all types of copyright work for certain educational purposes.
If you are using materials in an educational context this does not mean that you can forget about copyright. What it does mean is that you need to be aware of when you can use a work without obtaining permission or paying a licence fee, and when permission or a licence is required. For example, the law makes clear that certain exceptions for education can only be relied upon in the absence of a relevant educational licensing scheme. Copyright and Fair Use for Student Projects.
