Making a Podcast

Tracey, a year nine math teacher, creates a podcast for her math students using scanned images from a year nine math textbook.

Tracey creates a class blog and uploads the podcast to the blog for her students to access at home when completing their homework.

What are the copyright implications of Tracey's activities?

Scanning images

Tracey is able to scan the images from the math textbook to include in the podcast under the Statutory Text and Artistic Licence.  Tracey can only copy 10% of the textbook, or more if the textbook is not commercially available.
Tracey is also able to communicate (upload online) the images by uploading the podcast onto the class blog under the Statutory Text and Artistic Licence.

Notice requirements

A notice must be attached to the scanned images.

Labelling requirements

All material copied and communicated under the Statutory Text and Artistic Licence should be labelled “Copied under Part VB”.  The copyright owner and author (if different) of the material should also be credited for their work.

For information on labelling, see information sheet 'Labelling School Material'.

Access

The blog must be password protected with access restricted to teachers and students. Parents may be given access to this material provided it is for ‘educational purposes’ such as assisting students with their work.
