Dear Canada OER Community,
The team behind the University of Alberta’s *Opening Up Copyright*
instructional modules is pleased to share another update on the series.
This past Winter several new instructional modules have been created. The
new are:
· Applying Fair Dealing
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/applying-fair-dealing/>
· Asking Permission and Transactional Licences
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/asking-permission-and-transactional-licences/>
· History of Copyright
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/history-of-copyright/>
· *Nintendo v. Go Cyber
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/nintendo-v-go-cyber/>*
· s. 41 Technological Protection Measures
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/s-41-technological-protection-measures/>
· Technological Protection Measures (Digital Locks)
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/technological-protection-measures-digital-locks/>
We now have several modules covering fair dealing including Applying Fair
Dealing <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/applying-fair-dealing/>,
which examines how to conduct a fair dealing analysis, s. 29: Fair Dealing
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/section-29-fair-dealing/>
that covers the statutory foundations of fair dealing, and modules for each
of the three major Supreme Court cases on fair dealing: *CCH v. LSUC
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/cch-v-lsuc/>*, *SOCAN
v. Bell
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/socan-v-bell-2/>*,
and *Alberta
(Education) v. Access Copyright
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/alberta-education-v-access-copyright/>*
.
As well, we now have three modules on technological protection measures
(TPM): Technological Protection Measures (Digital Locks)
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/technological-protection-measures-digital-locks/>
that provides an overview of TPM, s. 41 Technological Protection Measures
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/s-41-technological-protection-measures/>,
which examines the statutory elements of anticircumvention protection,
and *Nintendo
v. Go Cyber
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/modules/nintendo-v-go-cyber/>*
a module focused on the major Canadian case on TPM.
This summer, through a University of Alberta Centre for Teaching and
Learning OER Grant
<https://www.ualberta.ca/centre-for-teaching-and-learning/grants/oer/index.html>,
the project will be developing four modules with a focus on post-secondary
copyright issues: *Access Copyright v. York*, Collective Licensing and the
Copyright Board, Educational Institutions Policies and Practices, and s.
29.4 to 30.04 Educational Exceptions.
The Scholarly Contributions
<https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/scholarly-contributions/>
section of the website has been updated and it has links to all the slides
from the presentations about OUC as well as the two journal articles on the
series.
We’d also like to emphasize that these modules are published under a
Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence so that they can be adopted
and adapted by anyone. On the page for each module you will find a link to
the associated script and slides, to allow for adaptation. The scripts and
slides are also made available under a CC-BY licence.
In addition, we would like to highlight the *Opening Up Copyright*
Community Pages (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/17Ul4YeOovdLOEaczPK7RipG_OgOd7etOcJI8ppT…)
The Community Pages provide an overview of the entire suite of modules to
be developed as part of the series, and also indicates which modules are
currently under development. Furthermore, we encourage you to contribute
to the individual module pages, where we hope to collect your ideas,
feedback or suggestions. Please consider sharing suggestions for Learning
Objectives, ideas for Narratives or Contextual Stories, Test Questions,
Links to Useful Resources, or Other Suggestions for modules that interest
you. You also have the option of including your name on these pages, so
that we can provide attribution for your contributions at the end of the
module. Feedback can also be sent directly to copyright(a)ualberta.ca with
the subject line “OER Copyright Module.”
We’re also happy to hear how the OUC modules are being used. If you are
linking to, adopting or adapting the modules we would love to hear about it
at on our OUC Module Use Community Page (
