Okay, I really do like Prezi! However, what I have learned this week is I need a new computer with a better graphics card and more capabilities! I'm hopeful is will display properly as it took more time than needed.
This week I choose Prezi to talk about copyright and creative commons and to visually represent the ideas. In Canada the term we use is fair dealing when discussing copyright laws. Fair dealing for media education means consumers can use copyrighted material without permission if it falls under fair dealing exemptions. It sounds a little complicated however the exemption listed include use for research, private study, criticism or review, news reporting, parody, satire and education in the classroom. Interestingly enough according to Fair Dealing Act, its not clear how this applies to online and distance learning. Based on my own experiences with online learning and the difficulties I have had registering online for courses, I believe there has been a large increase in the number of online learners in the past few years. With this in mind, I believe the Fair Dealing Act will need to become more clear to advise students/educators how the act pertains to online learning.
