Build Your Course Online - The Blog

If you want to use someone else’s ideas on your course Web site, try summarizing them rather than copying them outright.

Strict laws apply to the duplication of other people’s intellectual property, even on the Internet.

For more on copyright and fair use, check out any of these resources:

• Intellectual Property, Copyright, and Fair Use Resources
• Fair Use of Copyrighted Works
• Copyright and Fair Use (Stanford University)
• Educators, Technology, and the Law
• Instructional Resources on the Web:  Copyright

Also, Gail and I have written a guide to Copyright and Public Domain that is available free when you purchase either our Student Web Book or Faculty Web Book.
