While we learn about copyright, fair use, and licensing in our school library training, we still run into dilemmas that stump us–and yet we have to have enough answers to train teachers and principals who need help on these topics. Copyright in schools is more than books and the photocopier–we also see lots of media production for student projects, streaming content and license agreements. This course will give you a better understanding of how copyright law applies to real K-12 school situations.
Topics
- Basics of copyright law and fair use
- How contracts, licenses and copyright interact
- Respecting copyright with streaming media
- Respecting copyright in multimedia content creation
- Public performance rights and fair use
- Instructing and training your users on copyright
- New copyright issues with regard to artificial intelligence
Expectations
Regular participation in online discussions about readings; brief assignments and exercises applicable to your daily work.
