Student Course Work

Questions related to the use of course work created by students.

33. Are students permitted to include copyright-protected materials in their assignments and presentations?

Generally, yes. Since fair dealing now includes education, students may include limited amounts of material in their assignments and presentations. See the Fair Dealing Advisory for details about amounts allowable under fair dealing.

18. May I post examples of my students’ work on my course shell on a learning management system such as LEARN, or on my personal website?

You may post examples of student workk only if you have the student’s permission. Under Policy 73: Intellectual Property Rights, students own the copyright to the work they create. 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.
