Uploading to Moodle checklist

Uploading to Moodle Checklist:

Can the work be linked to instead of being uploaded?

Material from library resources should be linked to for the copyright and resource usage reasons. With other material, when in doubt, provide a link rather than uploading the material. 

How much of the document are you using?

Familiarise yourself with the terms of the ICLA licence and what is allowed.

Is the material in copyright? If so

  • Does the copyright come within the terms of the licence (summarised in the ICLA User Guidelines)?
  • Does the proposed extent of copying come within the permitted limits?
  • Is the work on the ICLA Irish Excluded Works List?
  • Is the work on the UK Copyright Licensing Agency's List of Excluded Categories and Excluded Works?
  • If the work is from a United States publisher, is it in the List of participating US publishers?
  • Permission to copy any copyrighted material outside the terms of the licence must be sought directly from the rights-holders concerned.

Have you deleted uploaded material that is no longer needed?

 

Once a module is completed, uploaded material should be removed; there is no need to keep permanent digital copies of documents.
