Creating Educational Videos



TITLE SLIDE:(music begins) Can I show YouTube videos in my class?FADE INShot opens on Jenn centred on the cameraJENNHi there. I’m Jennifer Peters, a librarian at Seneca College.One of the questions I’m asked all the time is “Can I use YouTube videos in my class?”Well I’m happy to report that new copyright legislation allows YouTube videos to be shown in your class! (loud applause, Jenn cheers)VOICE OFF SCREENYou mean I can show any YouTube video in my class?JENNwell, no, there are conditions, but it’s still really, really good news! (more applause and Jenn cheers)(screen fades to animation)So what exactly does this mean?The new legislation allows educational use of publicly-accessible materials available through the internet. This includes, permission to “perform it in public” for “students of [an] educational institution” (have actual text of section 30.04 of the bill appear on the screen). So this means you can show videos from the internet in your classroom (live shot of this).There are some conditions, the most important one relating to YouTube is that you cannot show videos where you “know or should have known that the work…was made available through the internet without the consent of the copyright owner.” (fade to Jenn)So to help you abide by this condition, here are some guidelines for selecting which videos to show from YouTube.(screen fades to screencast/animation)Try to choose videos that appear to have been uploaded by the copyright owner. It’s a good idea to stick to “official channels” for example Mr. Bean’s, the Associated Press or an official or one from a company or organization (screencast showing the Mr. Bean channel)You could also choose videos that have a Creative Commons license, where the copyright owner is actually giving you permission to show their video. Just try to make sure it was the actual copyright owner who uploaded the video under a Creative Commons license.You can view information about who uploaded the video by clicking on their user name. If it looks like maybe they’re not the copyright owner, you want to steer clear of that video (show an example of a suspect page).(fade to Jenn)So hopefully this makes sense. Essentially, you can show YouTube videos in your class as long as they have been uploaded by the copyright owner.If you need help deciding whether a video is ok to show in your class, you can always contact us at (fade to title slide)copyright@senecacollege.ca (have this appear on the screen). Or you can visit our Copyright guide seneca.copyright (have this appear on the screen).Thanks for watching!CUT TOTITLE SLIDEcredits ................
