Ma. Ericca Orga @ericcaorga12

I really appreciate that their a course here in Canvas that discusses and teaches about what copyright is, because now that we are in the 21st Century, we tend to take everything for granted such as sets of knowledge and information. All of them are just one click away, and at times because of that all-access freedom, we usually forgot to give credit or at least acknowledge our sources and see everything as a "free real estate". I definitely learned a lot and this course really clarified all my confusions and uncertainties in regards to topics like this especially on how fundamental this is, be it on my academic and personal life and integrity.

So, thank you very much and I appreciate it.

I recently completed the "Copyright for Educators (K-12/HE)" course on Canvas Network and found it to be an exceptionally valuable resource. The course excels in demystifying complex copyright laws and applying them practically in educational settings. It offers clear, relevant content that addresses real-world challenges educators face, with a variety of engaging instructional methods, including video lectures, quizzes, and discussion forums. The interactive community and up-to-date information further enhance the learning experience. While the course provides a solid overview, more in-depth exploration of advanced topics and additional interactive elements could further benefit participants. Overall, it’s a well-structured and practical course that I highly recommend for educators looking to navigate copyright issues effectively.

The session was well-structured, covering the fundamentals of copyright law while also delving into more nuanced topics such as fair use and licensing agreements. The presenters were knowledgeable and engaging, providing real-world examples to illustrate key concepts.

One aspect I particularly appreciated was the interactive nature of the seminar/module. Attendees were encouraged to ask questions and participate in discussions, which helped to deepen my understanding of the material. Additionally, the seminar/module provided practical tips for navigating copyright issues in various contexts, whether it be in academia, the arts, or business.

Overall, the copyright seminar/module was informative and thought-provoking, equipping me with a better understanding of copyright law and its implications. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking to enhance their knowledge in this area.

It´s an interesting course since establishes and defines important terms, providing a wide-open view about what you could do or use when you create or use some materials.
Additionally, it was very important to identify sites that you could use for materials that don't require any special permission for their use.

This is a very helpful course that provides some great information for educators to learn and apply to their classrooms. Learning about copyright should be very important and should be applied to every classroom.

It was thorough and very interesting. It will definitely help me in the graduate class that I am currently taking. It will also help me when I take the copyright course. I would recommend this to anyone who is wanting to learn more about copyright or wanting a refresher on the laws.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The course was very informative to my personal and professional life. This will help in guiding my students to cite the resources. Amount of information to be taken. The lecture about how students hide their work and this shows how some people hide their work and protect their work with copyright. On the contrary, some students like to share their work. This doesn't mean that students can share part of the assignment, which is called plagiarism. There are so many things that teachers need to teach their students.

Thank you for the resources to help me teach my students about fair use of copyright media. My students need to be able to get images and short clips without breaking the law. In a digital age world we need to learn as much as possible. I also want to respect and promote more artistic and creative work. It is important that my students know that their creations are protected and that they can show the same respect to others work.

Copyright for Educators is a succinct but extremely helpful guide to understanding how to apply copyright in schools. With a focus on students as content creators, it provides relevance; individuals who can see the impact of copyright and control over their own content will be more likely to respect the rights of others' materials.

This course provide a lot of information regarding copyright and how to teach kids about it. I personally liked the course as the lecturers explain a lot by providing examples or cases that illustrate different scenarios where there have been violations in copyrighting.

This course gave new insightful methods to reach students in a world that loves to post, share and get likes. It gave me practical ideas and ways to reach students on their level.
Research is even more important today and needs to be done without forgetting who the creator is -- especially when it may be someone's livelihood. Ethical thought through this course with examples and lesson ideas gave way plans to use this course while teaching my research classes this semester.

It was great and I learned a lot of new good information to share with students. This course will be very useful when creating projects and displaying information in my classroom. Students will need to understand the importance of copyright and how it can affect their work and the work of others who have put in time and effort. They deserve the right to their copyright rights as well as anyone.

Very informative class. I now have a clear understanding of copyright and fair use. I also have some tools to help teach this to my students and to my peers. I teach at the college level as well and intent to use the information from this class to help my college students understand the laws and guidelines of copyright and fair use.

Copyright is important to the future of creativity and the Internet.
Beyond the students’ immediate needs, the future of both creativity and the Internet will be affected by how citizens choose to interact with creative work. We all want to encourage great new books, music, games, movies, and art for everyone to enjoy. We want our work respected when we make creations of our own. And we want all this creativity to spur yet more, with artists and creators building on creative work that has come before. To keep creativity flowing in a world where publishing and copying are so easy, we look to copyright and fair use.
More broadly, to keep the Internet functioning in a free and open manner, it is important for citizens to choose to live ethically in their digital environments. Online ethics are crucial, in copyright as in other areas, because we all have an interest in promoting digital spaces where people understand the civic boundaries and choose to play fair
