If you record your lectures (or they are automatically recorded by Echo360) for later streaming and/or downloading, you must make sure that only authorised copyright material is included in the recording that is distributed to students.

There may be differences between presenting original copyright materials in a lecture and making a copy of these materials available via a lecture recording. 

In the following, ‘streaming’ includes the availability of a lecture recording for live viewing, and the facility for students to download  a lecture recording for later viewing.

You can stream the following podcasts:

• podcasts of television or radio programs originally broadcast by a free to air station in Australia and has then been made available as a podcast on the broadcaster’s website
• podcasts of overseas broadcasts where the host country is a signatory to the Rome Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations (A list of signatories to the Rome Convention can be found here.)

Before showing a commercially recorded videorecording, check if it is included in the ClickView database. Material obtained from ClickView is licensed to be shown in its entirety in class and in recorded lectures.

Commercially produced DVDs can be shown in a class but they (including soundtrack) should not be recorded as part of the lecture. They may not be streamed via streaming services such as Echo360, without the copyright owner’s permission. Recording, copying or streaming a DVD without the copyright owner's permission is an infringement of copyright legislation and can incur severe penalties

Diagrams and figures from third-party copyright material may be included in a lecture. You must accurately cite the author of the originally work.
