With so much interesting material available online, it might be tempting to use some of these in your own work. But what are the rules? What could get you into trouble?

These are even more important questions since the start of the pandemic. What happens when you publish your meetings and webinar videos to popular online spaces such as YouTube? What do you need to think about?

Jibunnessa Abdullah (Founder & Director, Digital Museum) will be joined by copyright law experts, Prof Angela Daly (Professor of Law & Technology, University of Dundee), and Meryem Horasan (PhD Researcher & Tutor in Law, University of Strathclyde) to take you through some of the most important aspects of copyright law as it relates to working online, and some of the practical things Digital Museum does to comply. We will also look at case studies and examples, common pitfalls and misconceptions and how you can avoid them.

Through live Zoom teaching sessions and video on demand recordings you can access online, by the end of the course you will have sound skills and knowledge on copyright, how to work within the law, and also where to look for images, music and other types of content you can incorporate.

There is also a certificate available.

Please join us for an invaluable course on copyright and how not to get into trouble online.
