Things to take note
Refer to these videos by NUS Libraries to better understand finding free content and copyright.
For more information, refer to the following: "Copyright in MOOCs" and "Finding and Using Free-Use Online Content".
For images or videos featuring people or copyrighted properties, we highly recommend buying them from websites listed in the paid collection.
These paid websites offer model releases (for recognizable images of person or people) and property releases (for copyrighted/restricted properties).
They allow users to use these assets without worry of copyright infringement. Free websites, however, do not offer this protection.
Use these resources when creating content for geNiUSworld, where staff and students can share their created educational and informative materials with the NUS community.
Teaching staff can include any of these resources into their courses on Canvas, and students can share their learning with their peers.
This resource sharing system comprises 3 sharing platforms: geNiUSchannel, geNiUSbooks, geNiUSjourney.
