 New things like Ownership, Control, Access and Possession (OCAP) living history website, PBS
has resources, we should have a copyrights policy. Be careful publishing, use larger slides for
hand-outs.
 I learned in this session that authors of works for publication need to ensure from their publishers
that they have the right to use their own work for lectures or teaching materials.
 The information about creative commons licenses was new and something I will be looking for in
my own research.
 The importance of looking into the Creative Commons (CC) licensing for resources.
 I learned about different types of CC licenses such as public domain (0, share alike, no derivates,
and that one can go on the CC website and get thescript to add to the document).
 I learned how to put a CC license on your work, without any cost, in particular for Cree
instructional resources or creative works. That you have reason and questions about your terms and
conditions.
 Learned that there is a free access to license logo.
 One thing I learned in this session is that there are “actual” court cases on “copyright”and to be in
class as course material. Uncertain on MCC policy on copyrighting, but may have been nice to
present current MCC policy.
 What I did understand is that these copyrights should be respected. Plagiarizing other people’s
work is not good. Copyright is your right to protect your ideas and points to inherited rights and
teaching things that are learned process to students.
 Do I as a student have the right to use information from the internet to demonstratein class and
then use it in thefuture in another class? I understand that copy right is confusing and to
understand more in my right to use the format appropriately.
 Information for dealings for the classroom. Good discussion on use of Indigenous community
content and traditional knowledge. United Nations Declaration on theRights of Indigenous Peoples
(UNDRIP) and World Intellectual Property Rights (WIPO)
 Before I didn’t know about copyright, didn’t know anything. But now I do thank you. I’ve learned
how to use it, and what to do if someone has ever copyrighted my work.
 The links provided more information. Learned about copyrights (worry and don’t worry) re:
permission. Into on website open picture. Educational and non-educational, I learned a lot.
 Cannot display material that is commercially available, such as CD ROMs. 2012 court ruling
included technical neutrality.
 I learned that public good and public domain are not thesame thing and I also learned teacher
created materials in the classroom are also concerned and connected with copyright regulations.
 It’s important to have agreement understanding between thecollege and instructors about what’s
copyright and the copyright understanding with instructors regarding the course content they
create.
 Moreuniversities are hiring copyright staff rather than payingmoney to ACCESS to do their
copyright tasks.
 Makesure the images are open.
 Link to resources is safe. Read the terms and conditions of use licensing agreements. Ask for
permissions.
 Linking to resources is a good practice for librarians
 I learned that not all theinformation on the internet is for public use.
Presenters feedback: "I was impressed with the participants' level of engagement and
really appreciated their insightful questions. Copyright can sometimes be seen as a "dry"
topicand their enthusiasm helped make for more meaningful and useful sessions. Also, I
feel that your awareness of the issues and commitment to local arrangements and
scheduling helped make this day a success."
Coordinators observation: Participants were instructors, school teachers, students,
administrators, librarians, and community members and each segment learned something
about copyright that is relevant to them. Participants asked many questions and the
discussion that followed showed that the audience was engaged in this learning
opportunity.
