E-learning and the Law

Teachers must respect others' rights, and others must respect the teachers rights.

That is the message on this page on e-learning and the law.

E-learning and the law is about legal rights on e-learning, for instance:

• Which permissions should you obtain, before using copyright protected material?
• What can you do without permission?
• What rights do you have as a teacher, when it comes to web casts of you teaching?

E-learning and the law is a collaboration between:

• UBVA (the Committee for the Protection of Scientific Work)
• UNI-C

The teachers rights

A teacher producing his own e-learning material for the internet, has the copyright to the material, and it can only be used by others, if the teacher permits it.

The teacher also has the rights to his teaching according to the copyright law and the personal data law. Others are not allowed to record and web cast the teaching without the teachers permission.

Others rights

The teacher has a legal duty to respect copyright to the work he or she wishes to use in connection with e-learning.
