What is Creative Commons
(CC)?
Creative Commons (CC) is the most common way of releasing materials under an open licence. CC
are a set of free licences for creators to use when making their work available to the public. All CC
licences permit educational uses of a work. You can freely copy, share and sometimes modify and
remix a CC work without having to seek the permission of the creator.

openverse one-click
attribution
12
One-click attribution: openverse gives you the attribution for all images and audio. Makes it much
easier to credit the source of any image you discover.

9 May 2023
Where can I find CC licensed
materials?
13
For example, you might want to develop some resources as part of a K-7 Unit on key
philosophical thinkers, and you want to use images throughout the material.
See below for some CC Licensed images that are available, via Openverse:
"Aristotle" by Nick in exsilio is licensed
under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0. "Confucious Statue (Yushima Seido,
Ochanomizu, Tokyo, Japan)" by Free
For Commercial Use (FFC) is licensed
under CC BY 2.0

• Flickr has an entire section on their website dedicated to CC
licensed images: https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/.
• When you’re on that section of the website, you can browse
images licensed under CC.
• However, if you want to search for an image, you have to add a
filter for CC licences.

9 May 2023
Attributing CC material
25
One condition of all CC licences is attribution.
When attributing remember TASL:
 T: Title
 A: Author
 S: Source
 L: Licence
Always check whether the creator has specified a
particular attribution. "Free Stock: Copyright sign 3D render" by Muses Touch is
licensed under a CC BY-NC-ND 2.0
https://smartcopying.edu.au/how-to-attribute-creative-commons-licensed-materials/

9 May 2023
Where should I place the
attribution?
26
• Text resources (eg books, worksheets, PowerPoint slides etc): next to CC work or
as the footer of the page on which the CC work appears.
• Video works: near the work as it appears on screen during the video.
• Sound recordings (eg podcasts): mention the name of the artist during the
recording (like a radio announcement) and provide full attribution details in text
near the podcast where it is being stored (eg blog, school intranet, learning
management system etc).

Labelling school owned
material
29
• Material that has been created by your school or administering body should be
clearly labelled as such in order to avoid paying fees under the statutory licence to
use the material.
• Recommended label for CC licensed material is:
© State of Victoria (Department of Education and Training) [school name], 2023.
Except as otherwise noted, this [insert content title] is licensed under the

Licences and Exceptions

9 May 2023
Statutory Licences

9 May 2023
Using material under the
Statutory Licences
32
If the third party material you want to use in your resource is not licensed
under Creative Commons and you don’t have permission, you may be able to rely on
the statutory licences to use the material, provided it is password protected.
There are 2 statutory licences:
• Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence
• Statutory Broadcast Licence.

9 May 2023
Statutory Text and Artistic
Works Licence
33
• Teachers and curriculum developers can copy and communicate text works (eg
poems, short stories, journal articles, books) for educational purposes, provided the
amount does not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the copyright
owner.
o The 10% or one chapter rule is still a useful guide in making this assessment
for resources that are still commercially available.
• Teachers and curriculum developers can also copy and communicate whole artistic
works (eg photos, maps, diagrams).
https://smartcopying.edu.au/guidelines/education-licences/the-statutory-text-and-artistic-works-licence/

9 May 2023
Images from the internet
34
Educational use of images from the internet are not free and are paid for under the Statutory Text
and Artistic Works Licence.
All images from the internet will attract fees under the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence
unless:
• it is a Creative Commons licensed image (see Where to find CC licensed images)
• the copyright in the image has expired and is in the public domain (see How long does copyright
last?)
• the terms of use clearly allow for educational use (see Internet and Websites).
Even if the department has a licence, this may not allow for subsequent copying by teachers in the
classroom.
Smartcopying tip: use CC licensed images instead and keep an ‘image bank’ of CC
licensed images that you can use at any time.

9 May 2023
Statutory Broadcast Licence
35
Teachers and curriculum developers can rely on the Statutory
Broadcast Licence to:
• copy television and radio broadcasts from free-to-air television
and radio, for educational purposes
• upload the copy broadcasts to a school digital teaching
environment (DTE) or the department’s intranet provided access
is limited (eg on a department intranet via password protected
access).

Music

9 May 2023
Using music in resources
37
Schools may be able to rely on the Schools Music Licence to use music in their resources and
during lessons.
If the department wishes to use music in its resources (eg add music to a video), it should:
• use CC licensed music
• seek permission
• commission a composer to compose music for the resources.
In limited circumstances, curriculum developers may be able to rely on the Schools Music Licence to
make recordings of school events and share the recordings with the schools that participated in the
school events. You can contact the NCU to discuss.

9 May 2023
CC licensed music
38
There are many sources of CC licensed music and sounds you can use, for example:
• SoundCloud – you can search on the SoundCloud platform for CC licensed
music tracks.
• ccMixter - a community music website featuring CC licensed remixes and
samples which are free to download.
• Jamendo - is an active community offering more than 350,000 free music tracks
that are CC licensed.
• https://filmmusic.io – all CC licensed music, can search by genre.
https://smartcopying.edu.au/where-to-find-cc-licensed-material/

9 May 2023
Sheet music
39
• You may be able to rely on the Statutory Text and Artistic
Works Licence to copy short extracts of sheet music.
• A better option is to use CC licensed sheet music, or
sheet music that is in the public domain (where copyright
has expired).
• Tip: Try searching Art Song Central, which is an archive
and directory of public domain sheet music.

Seeking Permission
https://smartcopying.edu.au/guidelines/permissions-and-consents/permissions/

9 May 2023
When should I seek
permission?
43
You may also wish to contact the copyright owner to seek permission if you are
unable or don’t want to rely on any existing licences or exceptions.
For example you:
1. want to use large amounts of content from one particular resource (eg
several chapters of a textbook)
2. want to copy and share content for a long period of time (eg in a training
resource that will be used for several years).
3. intend to upload the material to a public website.
https://smartcopying.edu.au/guidelines/permissions-and-consents/permissions/

9 May 2023
Seeking permission
44
You should first check if the department has already sought permission or taken out a
licence.
• If yes, use the material as per the permission/licence.
• If no (or the permission doesn’t cover your use), seek written permission.
To seek permission:
i. identify the copyright owner
ii. email them to request permission (you can use our template emails here).
You should keep a copy of the permission on file for future reference, preferably in a
central register of permissions all staff can access.

45
9 May 2023
Publishing material to a
public website

9 May 2023
Publishing material to a public
website
46
The only material you can publish to a public website/media platforms which anyone,
anywhere can access is material:
Alternatively, it is okay to provide links to material created by others
on public websites.
• in which the department/administering body owns copyright
• created by others (ie ‘third party material’), which has been
licensed under Creative Commons or is in the public domain
• created by others, which you have express permission to use
in this way.

47
9 May 2023
Labelling and Attribution
https://smartcopying.edu.au/labelling-and-attributing/

9 May 2023
Label Department materials clearly, so that licence fees are not paid on these
resources. It also makes it clear to users of the content how they can use it.
Clearly attribute any third-party materials in any resource you create, and
label these so it is clear how they have been used (for example, used with
permission, copied under one of the education licences or exceptions).
