30 Second BriefingCLA Copyright Essentials is a CPD certified interactive online training designed to help educators navigate copyright.
Educators and school staff can use the interactive modules to improve their understanding of how CLA fits into the copyright landscape. You can learn more about different licences and exceptions, foster a culture of ethical copying, and build confidence when reusing other people’s creations.
After completing the 30 minute training, you will receive a certificate of completion and be ready to tackle reusing material in the upcoming school year.
1. It’s made for educators
CLA Copyright Essentials was built with educators in mind. Not every school is the same – that’s why the training has separate tracks for Further Education and Schools, with examples and explanations tailored to the CLA Education Licence.
It’s CPD certified and quick to complete – only 30 minutes from start to finish!
2. Gain copying confidence
Copyright can be confusing – that’s why CLA Copyright Essentials provides practical knowledge and insights into the world of ethical content reuse.
We know that educators and school staff want to do the right thing, so this guide arms you with tips and questions to consider before you conduct a given activity and to make sure you feel confident you’ve made the decision for not only you and your learners, but also content creators.
3. See real-world examples
Each module introduces you to and guides you through scenarios you might encounter day to day. It breaks down the learning by activity with modules covering handouts, showing films in class, extracurriculars, students copying, and more.
You’ll gain clarity on terms and concepts, making it easier to understand and apply your knowledge outside the training.
4. Learn about the copyright landscape
CLA is just one part of the copyright world. The training covers your CLA licence, but it also explains direct permission, fair dealing, and other types of licences and exceptions.
You will also learn about blanket licences, and what you can ask to know more about which permissions your school already has.
By making sure you understand the copyright landscape as a whole, you can be more informed about how the CLA licence and your school fit into it.
5. It’s fun!
We know that copyright can be a daunting term, but at its heart, it’s about supporting creators and giving them choices over their creative work.
You won’t be wading through court cases in this guide; the videos are designed for you, in accessible terms and with stickability in mind.
It’s informative and interactive – you might take a short quiz, complete a matching exercise, or explore a clickable classroom full of examples.
