Introductionm5eb140cd72206fc5_1528450127855_0Introduction

The teacher initiates a short discussion. The students revise what they know about copyrightcopyrightcopyright, including publications on the internet. They organize information on this topic.

- In Poland, copyright is regulated by the Law on Copyrights and Related Rights of 4 February, 1994.
- The regulations of copyright apply also to web resources.
- On the internet, you can find content which can be used without the permission of its authors. These are materials that are made available for permitted use and that reside in the public domain and in the so called open educational resourcesopen educational resourcesopen educational resources.

Procedurem5eb140cd72206fc5_1528446435040_0Procedure

The copyrightcopyrightcopyright specifies a range of legal permissions to use copyrighted works. They include: permitted public usepermitted public usepermitted public use, permitted private usepermitted private usepermitted private use, the right to quote or the right to reprint. A particular case of permitted public use is permitted educational use.

Permitted private use
in accordance with the binding law, in Poland a free use of a work without permission is allowed for private use. Therefore downloading music files, books or films for this purpose is not penalised, as opposed to distributing them. Permitted private use is not applicable to computer software.m5eb140cd72206fc5_1527752256679_0Permitted private use

Open educational resources (OER) are materials that are publically accessible on the internet (no login and password are needed) and openly licensed for any user to use and reuse. They are usually openly developed.

[Illustration] The UNESCO Global Open Educational Resources logo

Interesting fact. The term ‘open educational resources’ was firstly coined at UNESCO's 2002 Forum on the Impact of Open Courseware for Higher Education in Developing Countries. The need for creating open‑access educational resources was noticed then.

Task
The teacher divides the students into four gropus. The task of each group is to learn a different section of the portal https://otwartezasoby.pl/. The students create the ‘website map’ aiming to facilitate using the website. It is important to note the difference between searching and an index.

Task
On the open resources website, find information about museums which share their collections. Create a comparison of the three museums selected by you. Check what information about their collections they share, the number of works shared and under what licenses. Create the comparison in the form of a multimedia presentation.

If materials shared in the form of web tutorials, online courses or tests are open educational resources, then everyone can share them, develop and translate into other languages. Many of such materials can be browsed on http://creativecommons.pl. There you can find a lot of information about Creative Commons (CC) licenses.

[Illustration] The public domain.

The public domain is part of creative works that can be used freely since the economic rights of their authors do not apply to them. Most often those rights have expired or the works were not subject to copyright because of the regulations or the type of licensing. In the case of computer software the public domain applies if the author decides so. The moral rights of the author cannot be waived in Poland and they are unlimited in time.m5eb140cd72206fc5_1527712094602_0The public domain is part of creative works that can be used freely since the economic rights of their authors do not apply to them.

[Illustration] Creative Commons (CC).

As we can read on the website of Creative Commons: „The principle All rights reserved is replaced by the principle Some rights reserved, while copyright is respected. (…) The author using the licence retains copyright and at the same time enables other people copying and distributing the works and moreover can restrict their use to non‑commercialnon‑commercialnon‑commercial purposes or limit the possibility of creating derivative worksderivative worksderivative works”.

Creative Commons (CC) is an American non‑profit organization which supports the expansion of their own copyright licenses, known as Creative Commons licenseslicenseslicenses, based on which the author of a work shares his or her work under certain conditions.[Interactive Illustration] The conditions of Creative Commons licenses

The teacher divides the students into four gropus. The task of each group is the same: to find web portals that share resources which can be freely used:
1. access to information, knowledge,
2. websites that enable searching for resources under various licences,
3. websites collecting legal copyrighted resources shared under other licences,
4. access to music under free licences,
5. access to literature, 6. access to education,
7. access to the content of museums (virtual walks),
8. images and films under free licences.

The exemplary answers:
