Code of Best Practices in Fair Dealing for Open Educational Resources by Rowena Johnson, Stephanie Savage, Heather Martin, Ann Ludbrook, Joshua Dickison, Kayla Lar-Son (CC BY)

This resource explores the legal and practical application of fair dealing in the context of Open Educational Resource (OER) creation in Canada.  While the Code is not legal advice it provides a legally defensible and judicious model for the application of the fair dealing exception when incorporating third-party copyrighted content into OER. The Code details the relevant Canadian legislative and legal context and supplies relevant practical examples. The Code is intended to empower Canadian creators and adopters of OER to make use of fair dealing, while also fostering institutional and legal support for doing so. Understanding the scope and flexibility that the fair dealing exception offers will assist with the risk-benefit analysis and ensure that OERs achieve their pedagogical, pragmatic, and social functions. Furthermore, robust OERs fulfill institutional ethical and sometimes legal obligations to make resources universally accessible to their communities.
