Conclusion
• We can reuse most* material downloaded from internet, if: – We mention the creator of the material (Person /
URL). – Use it for non commercial purpose (teaching NU
students)– Use it on our internal network Moodle only (not
upload on YouTube or other external sites).
(*): Disclaimer : This is based on limited study of available material. There may be some situations in which this conclusion may not hold completely. Please seek additional legal opinion. Author of the document will not be responsible for any financial damages in case of legal dispute.
