Issues

There are a number of important issues relating to the use of Educational ICTs. These include:

• Intellectual property
• Copyright
• Accessibility

Intellectual property

Flinders University has an Intellectual Property Policy. Point 4 of the policy relates specifically to Teaching and Learning materials.

Copyright

Copyright laws apply to materials on the Internet as with any other published format (from March 4, 2001, this includes the special exceptions under the CAL license). Please refer to the University's Copyright webpage .

Accessibility

In building websites, it is important to consider access issues. Making content more accessible to some may prevent or impede access to others. The Faculty of Social Sciences have published a set of guidelines for designing web sites for accessibility to people with disabilities.
