It is important to consider the copyright situation when using an audiovisual work. 

As a lecturer you are allowed to play or screen an audiovisual work in the classroom, for this the screening limitation applies. However, placing the same educational work on Brightspace is not unlimited. It is better to link to or embed a video on Brightspace. For the use of images on Brightspace stick to the Easy Access Regulation or use images for which you have permission. 

As a student you always have to stick to the right to quote (see Plagiarism) when using an audiovisual work.

Both as a student and as a teacher you always quote the source. Academic Search Premier has convenient citing options for this purpose.
