If you would like to make copyright protected material available to the participants of your course via the learning platform ILIAS, section 60a of the Act on Copyright and Related Rights (Urheberrechtsgesetz (UrhG)) provides the legal framework. Here is a short overview:
For illustration in teaching and research, you may make available for non-commercial purposes and in electronic form:
- up to 15 percent of a published work
- illustrations, individual articles from the same professional or academic journal, other small-scale works and out-of-print works in full text
Articles from newspapers or popular magazines may not be made available in full text. “Small-scale works” means printed works up to 25 pages and videos and music up to 5 minutes.
The materials may only be made available
- to teachers and participants of the relevant course – e. g. password-protected on ILIAS
- to teachers and examiners at the same educational institution and
- to third persons insofar as this serves to present classes, results of classes or learning outcomes at the educational institution.
