Copyright and GCULearn
Can I include audio files in a lecture which will be recorded and shown on GCULearn?
- You can play an audio CD which you have bought in a class, but you can't use it in a lecture which will be recorded. If you have done this, then that section will need to be edited out before you can add it to GCULearn.
- Podcasts which you download from the internet are slightly different, in that they have an implied license that enables you to copy and use them. Downloading is a means of copying them, so in general you can use them as part of your lecture, unless they have a statement that they should not be used in this way. This is not a hard and fast rule, so if you are in any doubt, check!
- You can play streamed audio from services like the BBC listen again service during a lecture, but again, it can't be included in a recorded lecture and should be edited out before uploading onto GCULearn.
