As long as you adhere to the amounts that may be copied under fair dealing you may scan and post it on a learning management system such as LEARN. See the Fair Dealing Advisory for copying limits. It’s important to note that fair dealing does not allow you to scan material and add it to a website unless that website is password-protected and restricted to students enrolled in your course.

The University does have the right to make copies of the work for academic purposes, but this right does not extend to making the work available online.
