Copyright laws have been 'brought up to date' - see www.ipo.gov.uk/copyright-guidance-overview.pdf
In particular: Copyright law is being modernised to make it easier for schools, colleges and universities to use copyright materials. It will remove restrictions on the use of copyright materials with modern teaching practices such as Distance Learning.
What does this mean? The exceptions relating specifically to educational establishments are widening, allowing more extensive use of materials in conjunction with educational licensing schemes.
Another change will permit minor acts of copying for teaching purposes, as long as the use is considered fair and reasonable. So, teachers will be able to do things like displaying webpages or quotes on interactive whiteboards, without having to seek additional permissions.
