Rapidly Shifting Your In-Person Course to Online: Copyright Considerations


Pedagogical and technical issues may make the shift from in-person to online teaching a challenge but copyright concerns should not be a significant barrier!

 

Key points to remember:

 

  1. Most of the legal issues are the same whether the teaching is done in person or online (via an LMS). 
  2. If it was okay to do in class, it is often okay to do online – especially when your online access is limited to the same enrolled students (for example via an LMS). 
  3. You can continue to apply the University of Regina's fair dealing guidelines.
