Guide to source citation and licences

This page provides an overview of the sources and licence rules that must be observed when creating educational content.


📢 General rules & recommendations 📢

  • Always check the licence conditions. These are often specified in the legal notice.

  • Sources must be cited if third-party content is used. If unsure: create your own content or use public domain materials.

  • If you find sources that are not correctly cited, correct them yourself if possible or write a message to @teameducation.

  • If you find graphics or illustrations that are under copyright and are being used incorrectly, remove the graphic/illustration or write a message to @teameducation.


✅ General copyright law

Copyright protects creative works such as texts, images, videos and music. Only the author or rights holder may decide how their work is used.

Rules

  • Works may only be used with the permission of the author or a corresponding licence (copyright).

💬 Use of texts

Texts from books, articles or websites may not simply be copied.

Rules:

  • Short quotations (a few sentences) are permitted if they are labelled as quotations and contain a reference to the source.

  • It is better to summarise (paraphrase) content in your own words.

  • Entire articles or paragraphs may not be copied.

🖼️ Images and graphics

Photos, illustrations and infographics are protected by copyright.

Rules:

  • Use licence-free images.

  • Use images with a Creative Commons licence and cite sources.

  • Do not use Google images or third-party photos without permission! No screenshots either.

📹 Videos & music

Film clips and music are almost always protected by copyright.

Rules:

  • Use your own videos and music or with a Creative Commons licence.

  • Embed YouTube videos instead of downloading them.

  • Do not simply insert third-party videos or pieces of music into presentations.

👤 Personal rights & data protection

Images and videos of people may not be published without their consent.

Rules:

  • Obtain prior written consent from the person depicted.

  • Do not use images without express permission.

  • Use the #pr-general-organisation and #pr-content-feedback-approval channel for social media content.
