Policy & Regulation
Background
The Copyright Amendment (Digital Agenda) Act 2000 has significant financial and practice implications for digital copying in the school sector. The ICT in Schools Taskforce has a key role in providing strategic advice to the Schools Resourcing Taskforce (Copyright Advisory Group) on the development of a legal and regulatory framework that supports the use of new technologies to enhance learning.
The Act places legal and moral responsibilities on schools and their communities. The management of digital rights is becoming a critical issue for all education sectors. National projects including The Le@rning Federation, COLIS (Higher Education) and AESharenet (VET) are providing both practical management solutions and contributions to policy and regulatory development.
The Taskforce is working with the Copyright Advisory Group to develop the Smart Copying Website. This site will provide the school education community with information and practical advice to promote responsible information
use and to raise awareness of the legal responsibilities of users.
