23. 23 Scenario The university has a VHS video in the library which is used for teaching in a module. The tutor asks if she can have this transferred to DVD or uploaded onto an intranet server so all the students can watch independently whenever they like.

25. Uploading to the VLE... That’s fine! It’s a breach, but no-one’s going to mind It’s a breach, and not well advised. Is anyone good at getting out of handcuffs? I’m not sure
26. 26 Scenario The university is concerned that materials on its VLE instruct students to visit certain websites and to download and/or print off certain materials from them. Is this permissible?
27. Get the students to do it... That’s fine! It’s a breach, but no-one’s going to mind It’s a breach, and not well advised. Is anyone good at getting out of handcuffs? I’m not sure
