It’s really important that the work you submit is your own. If you copy or substantially use other people’s ideas in your work, you may fail the course. However, you are allowed to use, adapt or refer to teaching resources and videos created by other people as part of your teaching materials or as a source of inspiration, as long as you clearly identify the original source in your work. For example, if you use a YouTube video in your lesson plan, make sure you give the link in your essay for your assessor to access. For more information, see our Malpractice Policy.
