What’s Cooking in the Copyright Kitchen?
Brisbane (AU), September 2008 - Emerging technologies are providing teachers and trainers with access to more information and resources than ever before, in more formats than ever imagined possible. However these new technologies also have new implications for copyright infringements.

To protect themselves from potential litigation, teachers and trainers must have sufficient knowledge of copyright law and legal obligations.

Copyright Kitchen, a free online resource for vocational education and training (VET) practitioners, is an interactive, user-friendly guide to the legal loopholes and pitfalls of copyright law.

Users can get the low-down on common copyright and intellectual property issues, including copyright exceptions and licenses, and how to apply for them. Information is broken up based on the user’s role, their organisation, or the task they’re undertaking.

The content can be used to populate the users 'recipe book', containing answers to their copyright questions and information about situations they encounter in their day-to-day work. The 'recipe book' can then be downloaded from Copyright Kitchen onto their computer for easy future access.

Copyright Kitchen also provides links to other useful copyright websites, and users are encouraged to contact the site and provide feedback if they can’t find what they’re looking for.

Copyright Kitchen was developed in 2005 and is maintained with funding from the national training system’s eLearning strategy, the Australian Flexible Learning Framework.
