The internet and other electronic resources offer a tremendous amount and variety of information for academic, professional and personal use. Often, using internet resources, especially digital media (images, video, audio) can enhance projects as well as offer an alternative means for expression. Whilst the use of information found on the internet can be beneficial, it is imperative that those using the information are able to recognise how to do so appropriately, fairly and legally. The internet provides an endless supply of digital media items that could be used to enhance your work, however, there are particular licensing provisions, laws and guidelines you must know and understand before using them. This session will introduce Creative Commons licensing, as well as review some of the basic principles of abiding copyright law when using electronic resources to help participants enhance their work whilst using media fairly.
