UC provides an overview of how materials can be used in the classroom and outlines three key provisions of copyright law to guide instructors.
UC provides specific guidance for instructors teaching online or sharing materials through Canvas. In general, best practices are to use the campus-approved Canvas space, link to copyrighted materials when appropriate, and rely on fair use when possible. The UC site notes that instructors should do a fair use analysis before adding materials to their Canvas space.
The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
