Summary
This is a course for educators who want to learn about copyright, open content material and licensing. It focuses on the South African jurisdiction. P2PU offers similar courses for other jurisdictions, so check if there is one for yours. Educators who are not in South Africa are free to sign-up as well, but the examples and legal details will focus on South African law.
The course is taught around practical case studies faced by teachers when using copyright material in their day to day teaching and educational instruction. By answering the case scenarios and drafting and discussing the answers in groups, the participants learn:
- what copyright protects
- whether copyright exceptions or blanket licences apply
- what is an open education resource (OER)
- what is a creative common licence
- how OER and CC benefits teaching
The goals of this course are:
- to help you identify copyright issues in education and give you a firm grounding in copyright, exceptions and, licensing
- to help you recognise open licences, and find open licence material and apply open licences to resources
- to get you thinking, writing, and conversing about how to use copyright exceptions and open licenses to enable education.
