We have created an openly accessible learning module on the subject of copyright law, in which typical questions and case studies are presented. The learning module "E-Legal? Information on E-Learning and Copyright" can be found under the following link:

Open Educational Resources (OER)

An elegant way to avoid questions of copyright law is to make materials available as "Open Educational Resources" and to also use third-party materials that are available under an open license. Like science with "Open Science" and "Open Access", digital teaching also uses the possibility of providing content such as images, videos, or PDF scripts with a "Creative Commons License" zu versehen.

Further information on what is meant by "Open Educational Resources" or "OER" for short can be found on the relevant page in our Digital Teaching Toolbox: Open Educational Resources (OER)
