What learners will discover

  • Explain copyright: creators automatically own their original work, so using it needs permission or a licence unless it is the user's own or in the public domain.
  • Read simple licence conditions (credit, no changes, non-commercial, share alike) and write a full attribution with title, creator, source and licence.
  • Remix responsibly (transform, credit and follow licences, never pass off others' work as your own) and recognise how media can be edited to persuade.
