Every teacher needs to prepare materials and exercises for his / her students. Many of them may use those published workbooks or textbooks as references. However, when they use these references, how many of them know the details of the Copyright Ordinance? As a teacher, this is also the first time for me to read through this Ordinance.
After reading through this Ordinance, I found that there is still some unclear areas, especially about the term “fair dealing’. For instance, students are permitted to copy a “small portion’ of a copyright work. However, to what extent does this “small portion” mean? Teachers can include a “short” clip of a film for illustration in his teaching presentation. But, the word “short” seems to be quite abstract. I think a concrete proportion is necessary. Or when teachers or students use some copyright works in their teaching or learning, they may be worry about the matter of copyright.
