A class I took a year ago really hit the whole copyright issue hard.  I was interested to find out whether that learning had “stuck” well enough to make THIS course’s copyright module easier to understand.  The verdict?  Yep – this module served as an excellent review and assured me that I AM basically doing things right with regard to copyright laws.  The most helpful piece of this course’s copyright training was reinforcing the wealth of resources (documents, images, audio clips, etc.) that is available for our use and our students’ use through Iowa AEA Online.  You have done so much of the work FOR us, giving us access to safe-to-use resources!  I am especially appreciative of the way Iowa AEA Online Resources provide citation information almost everywhere I look.  Super helpful!  I never have to wonder where I got that bit of text or that perfect image as long as I include the citation data as I collect my information.  This citation feature takes a huge sting out of the research process for students, as well.

After this refresher, I feel more confident about using Creative Commons effectively, having a clearer understanding of the various licenses, and I will DEFINITELY use Iowa AEA Online Resources as my “go to” site.
