Welcome to JISC Casper

The copyright advice & support project for JISC e-learning resources

JISC CASPER will be supporting the 19 projects funded as part of RepRODUCE (Repurposing & reuse of digital University-level content and evaluation) as they engage with all of the issues related to IPR and copyright.

JISC CASPER will be:

  • capturing their experiences - good and bad
  • guiding the projects to the wealth of rights related materials currently available and helping them apply it in their projects
  • developing new materials as required
  • undertaking rights clearance centrally when it makes sense by saving time and money for all
  • helping to build capacity in the sector

All of the case studies and materials developed as part of JISC CASPER will be made available to the wider JISC community (some already are) on an ongoing basis both from this web site and by their deposition in JORUM.

Who has the right to grant access?

Sharing between institutions is difficult, in part because discussions eventually boil down to the need for someone to sign something!  That person needs to move from ‘Yes, that sounds good’ to, ‘Yes I have the authority to grant these rights on behalf of the institution, and I am willing to do so in writing.’  Even [...]

Aggregation of Responses to the ‘Content Cycle’

I have been reflecting on the recent Repurpose day in Birmingham, and in so doing, have aggregated the comments written on the ‘Content Cycle’ diagram that was given to us then.  Illegible comments, or comments which I could not make sense of out of context have been left off, but hopefully other projects will find [...]

What do we mean by reuse and repurpose?

One of the more surprising findings from the reproduce projects has been the absence of a consistent understanding of ‘reuse’ and ‘repurposing’ of digital content. For JISC and JISC Collections it was always meant to mean a very active engagement with that content, disaggregating, copying, pasting, embedding, adapting and generally taking parts of the content and [...]
