WHAT YOU WILL LEARN AT THE EVENT  

From the mouths of educators, librarians and others who have attended a Copyright Clarity Train-the-Trainers event:  

  • Copyright doesn't have to be as confusing as we've been viewing it if we keep the four factor analysis/reasoning process in mind.
  • The complexity of copyright and fair use and actually understand much more about how fair use and copyright law protects the user and the use of information - had thought it only protected the owner of the copyright.
  • A comprehensive overview in general and in detail about the history, current state, and future of copyright. I also learned great techniques of pedagogy and workshop instruction.
  • A really clear understanding of what copyright ia and a stronger understanding of fair use
  • That copyright is meant to encourage the sharing of creative product, not for protecting the creator to allow them to keep it to themselves.
  • That copyright law is designed to encourage the spread of ideas and innovation, not to hinder or burden it.

WHAT YOU WILL LIKE ABOUT THE EVENT

  • How there was a mix of lecture, discussion and group activities as well as how the topic was covered in both a historical and current/practical perspective.
  • The engaging atmosphere and collaboration and the case studies
  • The interactive approach with two instructors and the enthusiasm for the subject. The case studies
  • The variety of pedagogies employed; not only did it help get the session lively, it helped with different learning styles
  • The variety of training methods and the transparency with which you used them at the wrap up. I especially liked the question parking lot.
  • The amount of knowledge I received, the way in which information was departed that made it easier to remember, and the enthusiasm of the presenters.
  • Grappling with real-life scenarios within small groups.
  • That the workshop was interactive and the scenerios were very helpful to solidify the teaching, also personal experiences were shared by the presenters.
