d. Analyze implications of copyright and intellectual property rights
Copyright as well as intellectual property rights like
contractual obligations with respect to resources furnished during
contracted hours, personal intellectual property rights outside
contracted hours, limitations on copying, etc. An intellectual
property right implies that creative work can be treated like a
physical property which falls under 4 groups: copyrights, design of
rights, patents and trademarks.
Copyright denotes work which is recorded in some manner
where rights prevails and gives author with peculiar rights with
respect to their work. For an instance, college possesses copyright
for work which is done by their teachers. Resources that are in
organization like writings, recordings and inventions are protected
via intellectual property rights and they can make use of these
resources (Morrison and Gleddie, 2019). For an instance teacher
prepares schemes of their work and lessons plans outside their
contracted hours are covered under personal intellectual rights.
Teachers often make use of their own time and equipments for
preparation of their resources. Whatever is being permitted by
copyright licensing agency permits make it smoother for institutes to
access, create copies as well as utilize it without having jeopardy of
infringing copyright. Educational establishment like colleges and
universities so not tolerate plagiarism with respect to both teachers
and learners. Thus, it is crucial to have reference to all sources as
