The University of Alberta’s *Opening Up Copyright (OUC)* instructional
modules team is pleased to share another update on the series.
With news that the Supreme Court of Canada has granted leave to appeal in
the Access Copyright / York University case, these four new modules are a
timely way to learn more about post-secondary copyright issues:
- *Access Copyright v. York*
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/access-copyright-v-york/>
- Collective Licensing Institutions and the Copyright Board
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/collective-licensing-agencies-and-the-copyright-board/>
- Educational Institutions' Policies and Practices
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/educational-institutions-policies-and-practices/>
- Sections 29.4 - 30.03: Educational Institution Exceptions
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/educational-institution-exceptions/>
Special thanks to the University of Alberta's OER Awards program for
funding these modules, and to long-time OUC contributor Julia Guy, who
finished up her work on the project last month.
Through the fall of this year and into 2021 we will be working on the
following introductory modules for the series:
- Creating and Sharing Materials
- Using Materials
- Introduction to the Opening Up Copyright Module Series.
In addition, and with support from the University of Alberta's Support for
Advancement of Scholarship (SAS) fund, a set of modules dealing with
copyright in the K-12 context are being developed in collaboration with Dr.
Cathy Adams (University of Alberta, Faculty of Education).
All of these modules, including slides and scripts, are published under a
Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence. This means they can be
adopted and adapted by anyone. If you are linking to, adopting, or adapting
the modules we would love to hear about it! Please add this information to
