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. -

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.

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.

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.

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 is an interesting course to be taken as a professional Development for educators.
Many students nowadays become lazy in a way that they prefer plagiarize other people’s work than strive to do their own work. Since it is illegal, it is important for educators to have such training in order to be able to sensitize their students about the importance of copyright.

This course is very important to our daily lives as teachers. The reason why is: we use various materials from the internet and they are protected by copyright law.; if we do not know we would be braking the law. In adition lerming the cretive commons, public domain and fair use are the most important because we can use those internet materials without braking the law and teach that as well.
