This document discusses becoming an open education practitioner and provides guidance on copyright and licensing for educational resources. It explains that copyright is complex with different interpretations globally and nationally. Creative Commons licensing is presented as a way for creators to specify how their work can be used, and that the most open CC license is CC BY, which allows use with attribution. Proper attribution of sources is emphasized, including naming the image, creator, license, and providing a link to the creator's online profile. Creative Commons tools and best practices for attribution are also referenced.

copyright is limited to "author rights" it is one aspect of Intellectual Property rights. IP rights are legislated at a global level but
interpreted at a local level.
copyright can only belong to a natural person and there is no requirement to use the copyright symbol on a work or to go through
any legal process The convention of Berne (set up to prevent legal wrangles over rights of publishers) established that at the
point of creation copyright rests with the creator.

if you find a picture online you want to use, you must check the licence. Flickr always shows the licence information. You can use
the advanced search in google images to filter for a suitably licensed image to use.
