A course for educators in Australia who want to learn about copyright, open content material and licensing.

Summary

This is a course for educators who want to learn about copyright, open content material and licensing.  It focuses on the Australian jurisdiction. P2PU offers similar courses for other jurisdictions, so check if there is one for yours. Educators who are not in Australia are free to sign-up as well, but the examples and legal details will focus on Australian 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 exceptions or blanket licences apply
  • when they need to seek permission
  • 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:

  1. to help you identify copyright issues in education and give you a firm grounding in copyright, exceptions and licensing
  2. to help you recognise open licences, and find open licence material and apply open licences to resources
  3. to get you thinking, writing and conversing about how to use copyright exceptions and open licences to enable education.

1. My job role as Intellectual Property Officer for eWater CRC requires that I review eWater publications and also review individuals Intellectual Property in Technical Reports, Scientific Reports and printed media generally. I then log this information onto the eWater Intellectual Property Register. I visit our 4 project teams made up of over 45 partner organisations and present a talk on Intellectual Property at eWater, this covers a small area on copyright.
2. I manage the Publications register and as such tend to have contact with the creators of copyright material.

Your course interests me as I would benefit from having a thorough knowledge of copyright and use by educators. Thank you

Sally this course is targetted at educators who are able to rely on specific exceptions and blanket licences which allow them to copy and communicate copyright material for educational purposes. So this may not help you in your current role.

We do plan to offer more generalised courses on copyright in the near future which may be better suuted
Happy to include in this course but I am concerned that it may have little relevance to your current role
Cheers

Hi Delia,
I am taking your advice and unsubscribing from the course seeing that we rarely rely on the statutory licences. I would be very interested in a general course. Thank you, Mary

Hi all,
This is Anish. I'm a recently graduated (QUT) high school librarian (ex English/German/ESL teacher) who enrolled in this course because I'm constantly confused about educational copyright. I'm particulary interested in copyright laws relating to digital media because my school is virtually entirely ESL, so visual is the way to go here...

To the aqua group - I only have internet access at work, so could we run a discussion or wiki please?
