Copyright and accessibility

Copyright and accessibility
- Copyright
  Copyright is the moral and economic rights that you have over a piece of work when you create it e.g. when you take a photograph or write an article. Copyright is automatic, and you hold the copyright on things you create. If you create a drawing or take a photo, you hold the copyright on the drawing or photo. Other people cannot use the work without your permission.
  If you wish to use images or information from the internet or other sources in your coursework, you need to consider copyright. It is also important when uploading your own work to your course, if you do so.

- Accessibility
  Accessibility in the context of your course (and internet resources in general) means ensuring resources can be used by people with disabilities and access needs.
  This means designing courses and using materials with their usability for those with visual, hearing, motor or cognitive disabilities in mind.
