Faculty Workshops

Copyright and Teaching at Brock: A series of information sessions and workshops for Brock faculty and instructors

Over the summer, Brock's Centre for Pedagocial Innocation (CPI) and the James A. Gibson Library will be offering monthly copyright workshops as part of its ongoing efforts to support Brock Faculty and instructors to help them understand and navigate the copyright issues they face in their teaching and research. 

Upcoming Workshop: Copyright on the Research and Conference Circuit

WHAT:  This workshop will will cover the copyright considerations which could arise when sharing your research in conferences and publications, addressing questions such as:

• Can you include copyright mnaterials in your conference presentations?
  
• Can you include images and figures from publications in a research poster?
  
• Does submitting a conference paper count as prior publication?
  
• What can you do with material obtained from a conference?
  
• Where can you find images to include in promotional conference materials?
  
• What happens to your copyright material when you publish?
  

WHEN: Wednesday May 23rd, 10:00 am - 11:00 am

WHERE: Thistle 253 e-classroom

WHY: Copyright rules and procedures at universities have confused faculty, instructors and lawyers for years.  Recent copyright developments have resulted in changes to the ways faculty and instructors use copyright materials as well as increased scrutiny over Brock's copyright practices. This session will help faculty and instructors better understand the Copyright Act's fair dealing exception and will enable them to make sure that their materials do not infringe copyright.
