Lately, we’ve been hearing more and more about digital copyrights and fair use in the news and online – particularly with the whole SOPA/PIPA uproar that recently swept the web. Also, we on the Edublogs support team have been getting more and more complaints and official requests to remove copyrighted content that users have placed on blogs. The legal jargon with respect to digital copyrights can be confusing – especially since different countries have their own laws and regulations. With this post, we hope to dispel a few myths and pull together a complete list of resources for teachers and students to use when blogging and working with content online. Rule #1: You Can’t Use Everything You Find On the Web Dexter the cat hates those that steal his photos… This may seem obvious, but judging by the notices we have received, many teachers (and especially students) are under the impression that if it is on the web, then it is up for grabs. Rule #2: There Are Resources You CAN Use Images Videos

Copyright Advice for Teachers (What is Fair Use?) : Teach Digital Copyright is a difficult concept for teachers to grasp as a result of the grey areas associated with its relationship with education, even I don’t completely understand it. Ignorance is bliss! Perhaps if you secretly know you are in breech of copyright then it might be advisable to stop reading this article now! Personally, I think it is extremely important to teach students about copyright and implement good practice in the classroom. Too many students see the Internet as a source of media that can be taken and used at anytime. Here is a simple piece of advice, students shouldn’t be searching Google images and blindly taking what they want. This advice is not needed if you have some understanding of the function of Creative Commons and media in the public domain. Most of us know that once a piece of work has been created it is immediately protected by Copyright. Now, lets investigate the grey area of education purposes. US Copyright Law US Fair Use Advice

Lucacept - intercepting the Web Today I spent some time with students discussing the issue of plagiarism. It’s an important issue to discuss, and one that I would prefer to cover at the start of the year rather than nearer the end of it, but I take heart from the fact that we are having these important discussions with our student population. I thought I’d share some of the resources I used to put my presentation together. First up, I think it’s important to note that one of the General capabilities that need to be addressed in the upcoming Australian Curriculum is Ethical behaviour. Here’s the information pertinent to this from the Australian Curriculum site. In the Australian Curriculum students develop ethical behaviour as they learn to understand and act in accordance with ethical principles. Understanding the need to behave with academic honesty certainly is an ethical understanding our students need to have. I really liked the quote they use on their page, and made a point of discussing it in detail. Google+

1984 Lies of Nations - 2 + 2 = 5 Classeur : PUBLIC DOMAIN IMAGES Cornelius Krieghoff - Musée des beaux-arts du Canada | Musée des beaux-arts du Canada Cornélius David Krieghoff peint des images du Canada alors que se constitue l’imagerie populaire du pays. Entrepreneur, il crée une vision populiste du paysage et des gens du Canada. Il peint les coutumes et les traditions des divers peuples autochtones ainsi que les activités et le caractère de l’habitant ou colon canadien-français. Krieghoff émigre à New York et se joint à l’Armée américaine en 1837. Il y rencontre sa future épouse, Émilie Gauthier et, en 1840, ils s’installent à Montréal où il commence à travailler comme artiste. En 1853, il s’installe avec sa famille à Québec où il peint des scènes urbaines et des paysages de la région avoisinante. Krieghoff continue à exposer son travail et à vendre des gravures et des reproductions photographiques de son travail alors qu’il vit en Europe (1863-1870); toutefois, sa production prolifique du temps de ses années à Québec ralentit.

Free and Open Source Authoring Tools for e-Learning As an e-Learning consultant I was always a fan of open source software. Why? The answer is simple. Because I could use them as I wish, for whatever I wish, without long-term commitments and with the extra bonus of a community of professionals that use, extend and support them. In this post I am not going to talk about open source learning management systems such as eFront[1] but rather dedicated open source “authoring tools”. => If you know a free or open source authoring tool that is not included in the list I will highly appreciate if you write a comment with a link!
