Check all media for copyright compliance.

Any media that is owned by TAFE Queensland still requires attribution to comply with the Educational institutions statutory licence.

Click the links below for instructions for each type of media:

Check the ownership of all images. For the following types of images, add the correct attributions as linked below:

  • Owned/created by TAFE Queensland

  • Purchased from Shutterstock

  • A compilation or adapted image

  • Creative Commons

  • Free for education

  • Images used in Assessments

  • Public domain

  • Screenshots

  • Used under licence

  • Toolbox images

For all other images check the licence terms to determine if they can be legally used.

If the image is able to be used, add the correct attribution – see Used under licence for the attribution format.

If we do not have permission to use the image under any existing licence you can do the following:

  1. Seek written permission - see: Requesting Copyright Permission

  2. Source a stock image replacement

  3. Design a new image to be created by a GD - it must be different enough from the original that it cannot be recognised in the new image, while still communicating the same information.

  4. If no licence prevents it, use the image under the Educational institutions statutory licence.

Videos

Videos created by TAFE Queensland require attributions and copyright notices to be included in the video. See TAFE QLD Produced Video for more detail.

Publicly available videos, e.g. YouTube do not require any attribution, however for consistency an introductory sentence identifying the owner of the video is added before the video.

It is critical to check that the video has been uploaded by the copyright owner. If this is not the case it needs to be replaced or removed. See https://tqgcjira.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COP/pages/21004310/YouTube+-+Copyright+considerations

  1. Public videos, e.g. YouTube: check that the video has been uploaded by the copyright owner. If this is not the case it needs to be replaced or removed.

  2. PDFs and other documents: if its available on the web link to it. If the document has been purchased, for example a journal article purchased by a teacher, we are not able to place a copy on Connect unless the licence allows it. See Electronic journals.

  3. Third party material purchased under licence: check that the licence terms of use have been adhered to where the material has been used, and put the licence into a copyright folder with the unit.

  4. Other 3rd party material: copies of any material provided that does not belong to TAFE must be checked for permission to use, or removed/replaced.
