Hi Everyone A copyright teaser -- test your knowledge:
- What copyright permissions do educators around the world consider fair and reasonable for educational purposes? - If an author publishes a book in Australia, will it enjoy the same protections in India? - If you source a copyrighted work on the Internet which is hosted on a web server outside your country -- which national copyright laws govern the protection of the work? - If the general copyright term has expired in your country, can you use protected works from countries which adopt a longer term of protection? - How can educators refine their copyright? Is this allowed? - Which is the best Creative Commons license to use for educational purposes? - Can you sell materials licensed under Creative Commons? - How long are copyrighted works protected in your country? Are their any differences among countries? If you're not sure of the answers to any these questions --- you can find out more by joining our *free* online workshop which starts this Monday, 21 March 2011. If you know the answers to all these questions, consider sharing your knowledge by joining us and helping to facilitate the Open Content Licensing for Educators workshop.
