Copyright is a type of intellectual property law that protects a person’s creative work. It is designed to prevent the unauthorised use of a work. Copyright is automatic for works created in Australia, and there is no registration process involved. It is important to keep in mind that copyright law varies from country to country, so what someone in the USA can do with copyright material is not the same as what you can do in Australia.
If you breach copyright on your research work, Moodle site or in your lectures and tutorials, you may be held personally liable under the Copyright Act.
You need to think about what you use and how you use it to ensure that your Moodle sites and lecture materials are copyright compliant. Copyright is complex and whether or not you can use something is going to depend on a number of factors.
