Copyright is meant to encourage creativity by conferring exclusive rights on authors and enabling copyright owners to make profits by distributing or licensing copyright works. Nevertheless, in reality, the copyright regime is too complex and technical for a layman to comprehend. In virtual learning, teachers are creators as well as users of copyright materials.
There are burning questions regarding copyright issues in teaching and learning. For example, would it be copyright infringement when teachers and students include copyright works like images or music into their presentations, teaching/learning materials or social media? Who owns the copyright for contents created during learning activities? How can we creatively and ethically use copyright works?
We would like to discuss the potential and affordances of Creative Commons (CC), Open Educational Resources (OER) and CC/OER-enabled pedagogies with some examples in training.

• Copyright, OER and CC in teaching and learning
• OER/CC adoption (e.g. how to search and adopt CC-licensed works)
• OER/CC creation (e.g. deciding which CC licenses should be adopted)
• OER/CC in general education, introductory courses and other courses

Through the training, participants can reflect on better practices and design considerations in CC/OER-enabled pedagogies. Upon completion, the participants will be able to:

• Identify copyright owners and avoid infringement;
• Identify the opportunities and challenges of adopting CC and OER in the curriculum; and
• Use CC and OER to facilitate classroom learning and assessment.
