Welcome to Copyright literacy! This site will provide you with resources and tools for you to understand copyright and build on your confidence for copying right.
My name is Erica Wine and I am the Copyright Lead at Coventry University Online and I will create posts aimed at all staff and students of the Coventry University Group.
Copyright is an important consideration when using any third-party material even for education purposes.
It is your personal legal responsibility to ensure that you comply with copyright law: you ought to select material that is only lawfully accessible and re-usable in the specific way you intend to handle it.
Whether you are a new starter, or whether you’ve been here for a few years, this site is designed to give you some core skills and understanding about copyright that will be really useful to you even beyond the University.
Copyright literacy is part of digital skills which are increasingly important in today’s society, and I hope that you’ll have everything you need to be successful.
