Using other people's work in your course
Original works and other subject matter are automatically given copyright protections under Australian law. Copyright law is intended to provide a balance between rewarding creators for the use of their works and allowing users reasonable access to those works.
It is very likely you will want to include copyright-protected material in your Moodle course. Note that ensuring the correct usage and attribution of such material is your personal responsibility, and that you can be held liable for illegal copying or reproduction of copyrighted works.
