Would it make a difference if the materials used were given away for free, or if the the materials carried a cost? I would think it would be against the law to take Ms. Peters materials and use them to teach others, but that paragraph seems to say differently.
No, that's covered separately - reams of copyright protection which cover teaching materials specifically. Taking someone else's teaching articles would also constitute copyright infringement (as would reproducing tutorials or e-books and distributing them without permission). There are tons of references on teaching and university sites which cover this!
