Closed distance classes available for copyrighted work without permission April 10 11:51
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, more schools are considering introducing distance learning as a learning method during school closures, but the Agency for Cultural Affairs has started a new system that can distribute textbooks and other copyrights without permission from this month. I decided to start.
Many schools continue to be closed in Tokyo and Osaka, etc., where emergency cases were declared due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
In order to provide children with learning opportunities, schools are increasingly considering introducing remote classes using the Internet, but copyrights are required to use texts and music from textbooks as teaching materials. There was a call for action because of the need for permission from the public.
In response, the Agency for Cultural Affairs has begun a new system this month that will allow textbooks and other copyrights to be distributed via distance learning without permission.
In addition, the designated management organization has given free compensation as a special measure this year for compensation that would otherwise be required to be paid.
It is noteworthy that this will lead to the introduction of distance learning, but there are still issues such as how to use PCs and terminals for children and how to use the communication environment for full-scale dissemination.
