The Copyright Overview for Instructors and Staff course is now available on LEARN for self-enrollment.
This LEARN course consists of 8 brief modules, each followed by a five question quiz. The modules provide an introduction to copyright as it applies in a university setting, with focus on copyright in teaching. The final module provides Waterloo-specific copyright resouces and services. The course is available by clicking on “Self-Registration” on the top navigation bar of your LEARN homepage and selecting “Copyright Overview for Waterloo Instructors and Staff” from the list of available courses (course code: Copyright_OvervieUW).
This course is based on the Open Copyright Course, created by the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL).
