Abstract

The advent of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in various disciplines brings potential benefits to the users. In the context of education, postgraduate students can get hold of a wide variety of resources for their educational purposes, including images. Nevertheless, one major drawback to this opportunity is the potential for encroachment into the intellectual property rights of the legal owner of the images, primarily copyrighted images. Accordingly, this study embarked to explore the practice of postgraduate students in choosing online images for their educational works, as well as to examine the behavior of postgraduate students when confronted with copyrighted images for their educational works. Engaging upon purely qualitative methodology, a total of 40 students of higher learning institutions in Malaysia participated in an online survey containing open-ended questions. The data was analysed using computer-aided qualitative data analysis software ATLAS.ti version 22. The study found various resources used by the students to get image sources for their educational works, such as search engines, royalty-free images website and image editing websites. The study further found different attitudes by the students when confronted with copyrighted images, some would avoid using the images, while some others would still use the images in their educational works, with or without acknowledging the creators of the images. The implication of the study is better understanding of the postgraduate students’ practice on usage of copyrighted images for educational works. Hopefully the findings would contribute to the literature on students’ behaviour and intellectual property rights in the academic setting.
