Chris Morrison, Copyright Support and Software Licensing Manager at Kent, is the originator of Copyright the Card Game.

The game is an an open educational resource created to teach those in educational and cultural institutions about the way copyright law impacts on teaching and research. The game has been downloaded over 2,500 times and is used widely throughout the UK and other countries to communicate messages about copyright and risk management.

Chris is running two sessions in October, which offer participants the opportunity to:

• Understand the subject matter that copyright protects (works)
• Explore the types of usage which copyright restricts
• Become familiar with the types of licences that allow use of copyright material in education
• Understand the key copyright ‘exceptions’ that allow teachers and researchers to use copyright works without permission
• Apply all of the above to a number of educational scenarios in groups

The two dates are as follows:

• Wednesday 4 October, 14.00-16.30
• Thursday 26 October, 10.00-12.30

Please email C.Morrison@kent.ac.uk  if you would like to attend one of these sessions and you will be sent an invite. As always, please get your line manager’s position before you do.
