H5P Pop-Up Example
Many modules have H5P pop-ups that contain more explanatory text. If you want to adapt the modules, you can download the H5P files from the OUC website by clicking “Reuse" in the bottom left corner of the H5P (beneath the video player).

Librarians, Copyright and the Supreme Court
Did you know that the role of librarians is discussed in the CCH v. LSUC Supreme Court of Canada decision (CCH v LSUC, 2004 SCC 13)?

Keeping the modules up to date
OUC modules are maintained by the Copyright Office according to a scheduled review cycle. Approximately every 2 years, each module is set to be reviewed, at which time the content and H5P elements are updated as required. The completion date of the update is indicated alongside the module's creation date.

Want to adapt the modules?
The module's current version is made available for viewing on the OUC website, and the files that make up the current and previous versions are available for download in the Module Materials collection in ERA, the University of Alberta's institutional repository.
