Some time ago I asked for suggestions for an on-line course on the practicalities of the Knowledge Commons. Due in part to the feedback that has become a course on Copyright for Educators.
Copyright for Educators is a six week course on ….(you guessed it) ‘copyright’ and its aimed (surprise surprise) at educators. Its a scenario driven course intended to help educators think through scenarios in which they we need to navigate copyright in order to use learning materials.
The course is offered as one of the pioneering courses at the Peer to Peer University which is “an online community of open study groups for short university-level courses”. The first iteration of Copyright for Educators is being facilitated by a team of US, Australian and South African lawyers.
Today is the last day to sign up for this iteration of the course.
