smart copying initiatives
Under the Copyright Act, schools and TAFE can copy and communicate limited amounts of copyright material for educational purposes for an agreed fee. In recent years, copyright costs in the education sector have been increasing exponentially.
Smart Copying initiatives are practical strategies aimed at promoting cost effective copyright practices in the classroom. Smart Copying is not about restricting schools and TAFE from using copyright material, but rather about assisting them to better manage and control the costs of copying.
National Smart Copying initiatives include implementation of the National Educational Access Licence for Schools (NEALS), promotion of the use of free-for-education and creative commons licensed material and accurate labelling of copyright material used in schools and TAFE.
