Copyright Obligations for the Education Sector

This is a reminder that copying materials falls within the scope of the fair dealing exception under s. 29 of the Copyright Act. Teachers should be aware of their rights and responsibilities regarding the use of copyright-protected materials including online learning. The Fair Dealing Decision Tool helps teachers decide whether fair dealing permits classroom use of materials without needing to obtain copyright permission. Please share with your staff so they are aware of their copyright obligations.
