This resource explains copy right and fair use rules regarding images on the web. It discusses the problems associated with using copyrighted work and talks about the Creative Commons. This is a great reference for educators and students to use in an effort to avoid copyright infringement.
A great resource for students and teachers. Great tool for searching for images and other web resources that are under certain copyright laws and restrictions. Students and teachers can learn to be more aware of copyright and how to effectively use and cite their sources.
This was a very interesting read, which highlights several issues related to copyright...some things I had not even considered with consideration to online digital tools.

I was most interested in this website in section 5.4.9, where the author details the strengths and weaknesses of MOOCs, specifically the weaknesses. MOOCs have high registration numbers, but only a small number actually finish the course. They are expensive to produce and they are used mostly by those with higher education levels. Higher levels of learning are difficult to assess and so "credit" becomes difficult or impossible to grant. Copyright issues can also be a problem.
I found myself spending most of my time reading the strengths and weakness of MOOCs located at the end of the article. I found several articles that listed only the strengths, or only the weaknesses. I appreciated this article because it examined both.
