Hello all,
I had a ABOER project (Multiply K-12 OER) where I interviewed a Canadian lawyer, Jim Swanson, to explain and discuss the current Canadian copyright laws ( they are currently under review since their last update in 2012).
These series of podcasts with the lawyer are very helpful - even if you are not a K-12 educator. Check them out! Transcripts are also included. These are all housed on the BOLT Blog.
Cheers,
Dr. Connie Blomgren
Athabasca University
