This session is facilitated by Jane Secker, Chris Morrison
About this session
This workshop starts with a brief overview of attempts around the world to raise levels of awareness about copyright amongst librarians, information professionals and those supporting open education initiatives.
In the UK, Chris and Jane have developed a number of openly licensed educational resources to teach people about copyright issues. This workshop will be a chance to play-test two of these games-based learning initiatives, including Copyright the Card Game and the Publishing Trap. Both resources are licensed under Creative Commons and the team have been working internationally to translate and adapt these resources into other languages and legal environments. The presenters will discuss how adaptations to the game can be made and the benefit of teaching educators about copyright and licensing to promote open education initiatives more broadly.
