21. May I post copies of copyright-protected works to a learning management system such as LEARN or email copies to students enrolled in my courses?

Yes, you may do both if you adhere to the amount that may be copied under fair dealing. Please see the Fair Dealing Advisory for copying limits.

Note, however, that in some instances a copyright-protected work is made available under a digital licence that prohibits certain uses such as posting an electronic article to a learning management system such as LEARN. Any such restrictions will take precedence over fair dealing. Send a message to copyright@uwaterloo.ca for more information about such restrictions.
