Hey UO Faculty!

Do your students need help understanding or applying intellectual property rights, copyright, fair use, or Creative Commons licenses? 

Questions to consider!

• Would you like your students to learn about ethical use of digital information? 

• Do your students tend to take whatever is available in a Google image search to reuse in a digital project?

• Would you like your students to apply fair use evaluations to digital media used in a digital project?

• Do your students know how to write an attribution statement so credit is given to producers of creative works?

• Are your students not sure where to find public domain or Creative Commons licensed digital media?

• Do you want your students to know how to copyright or license their work?
