Music with CC licence (creativecommons.org).

You hold the copyright to your own teaching materials unless otherwise agreed (see OsloMet's copyright policy, only in Norwegian). 

If you wish to create instructional videos, you can do this in one of OsloMet's selfie studios, or get help from AV services at the University Library (oslomet.no). The producer rights go to OsloMet if you receive assistance from the AV Services in the production, or if you record a lecture in an auditorium with mounted recording equipment. If you create instructional videos yourself with the equipment you have in your office, the producer rights will be attributed to you.

If OsloMet is going to use recordings of your teaching, a written agreement should be made: the recording agreement in English (PDF).
