Can we use book cover images to promote our library books on Pinterest?

Book covers are likely to be copyright-protected works in themselves, and also often contain third party ‘artistic works’.  So, for example, Amazon reflects this in its terms and conditions.  Copying these digital images and making them available to the public (such as pinning them onto Pinterest), without permission will be an infringement.

Guide to using digital media in teaching and learning

Using digital media in teaching and learning is a new guide that I wrote aimed at people who are curious about how images, video and audio might be applied.

I hope that this guide can act as the first port of call for learning technologists and teachers who aren’t quite yet ready to read about the “how-to” kind of stuff that we are great at.

We explore what digital media is, where it can be used to support teaching and learning and what the key opportunities and challenges are.
