About this Course

As more instructors move away from creating course content and into curating content through works created by others, it’s important to be aware of how to ethically, legally, and responsibly handle copyrighted works.

 
Copyright law can be a complex and confusing area. Different rules apply to different types of content, so when designing courses, teachers must have a grasp on the legal limits for copyrighted content and intellectual property.
 
Make sure you’re staying on the right side of the law!
