In the Czech Republic, the copyright act provides colleges with rights to the work of their employees and handles rights to the work of their students. But still, you may release the metainformation, about these documents and get some identifier - in this case, maybe Ark would be most suitable. But there are hundreds of identifiers and databases of metainformation, so I would do research on it. | |

| Jul 19, 2014 at 12:11 | comment | added | JeffE | I would simply like to protect my personal investment into these materials. — You'd make a better return on your investment by attaching your name to your course materials and then letting anyone use them. | |
| Jul 19, 2014 at 10:18 | comment | added | David Richerby | Isn't the purpose of teaching to... you know, teach the students well so they learn the material? Isn't it a good thing if your course materials are so awesome that the other teachers want to use them too? Wouldn't that mean that more students learn better, giving you more satisfaction from how well you're doing your job, as well as explicitly furthering your goals as a teacher? Think about why it is that you want your students to see your materials, but not any student who isn't taught by you. Does that really make sense? | |

| Jul 18, 2014 at 19:18 | comment | added | 0xhu | Thanks for the insights everyone! I updated my original post quickly with a tid-bit of information. To be clear, I am developing the materials while not teaching any courses or being paid by the school in any manner. It is currently the summer semester and I am not being paid to teach, develop course work or anything. I will have to try and find my contract. Unfortunately the director seems to run a fast and loose operation. I want to be sure I am looking out for my best interests in the case someone tries take my content and run with it without proper dues being paid for my time investment. | |

| Jul 18, 2014 at 18:35 | comment | added | JeffE | I believe copyright applies autoamtically to all creative works, not just in the US, but in every country that signed the Berne Convention. (If I'm not mistaken, it applies in the US because of the Berne Convention.) | |
| Jul 18, 2014 at 17:27 | comment | added | Bill Barth | What country? Copyright laws vary from country to country. In the US, the instant you put the materials down in a fixed form (including computer slides and images), they are automatically covered under copyright in your name unless you are working under a contract that says differently. To sue someone who uses your materials, in the US you effectively need to have registered your copyright. Whether or not you intend to sue someone, once you've determined whether you or your employer has the copyright, you should mark all of your materials with the date, appropriate copyright owner, ans symbol. | |

| Jul 18, 2014 at 16:58 | comment | added | ff524 | What Lost1 said. Go read your contract and find out who holds the rights to the content you create. Not being paid extra to create it doesn't necessarily mean it's all yours. | |
| Jul 18, 2014 at 16:57 | comment | added | Lost1 | I was under the impression if you create something as part of the job, you forfeit the copyright to your employer. E.g. The guy who designed London tube map. I may be wrong, so do not take my word for it | |
