It's critical you understand how copyright affects the materials you upload to NILE, add to reading lists, or distribute in class. While using copyrighted materials without permission is generally restricted, there are exceptions for educational use. You can rely on educational licences, legal exceptions, and open licences (like Creative Commons) to use such materials in your teaching. Using copyrighted content without permission can lead to legal consequences.
To help you navigate these rules in your teaching, we have copyright licensing guidelines available on our website. Detailed advice is available within our Copyright in Higher Education guidance
