EL114 Copyrights and Instructors

This course is eye opening. For profit schools are not covered by some of the legislation that covers non-profits. Instructors must be careful of using material from the internet - one ALWAYS should at least request permission from the copyright owner before using the material. Also, the copyright laws are typically 30-40 years behind the times when it comes to technological advances, so beware. And finally, contact your school librarian, who could be the best source of what you need to know in this area.

A good course that all instructors should take - and then heed.

I agree. The copyright course is helpful. One content I wish it also deeply addressed how the Design School guides their student and faculty in appropriating image and protecting their own work.

As a rule of thumb, we want our students to create fresh unique ideas for their design project. However, unlike the copy text where you can use tool such “Turnitin” to review the originality of the student’s work, in the design side, I only see few tools that can help find a similarity of the graphic.

The Tineye is what I usually use in the past; however, it’s still a hit and missed process.
