Who owns the copyright of your
teaching materials?
Staffs in my
institutions enjoy academic freedom .We have the right to produce any work we
want. whether we want it to be copyrighted or free access depends on us. Academic
freedom is specifically intended to foster the free exchange of ideas within the school. I had the
opportunity several times to create new educational materials for my students.
for example for revision on the chapter
input and output devices, I created an interactive software mainly some
tutorials and some Multiple Choice
Questions for my students. it was
installed on every computers in school . Pupils had free access on it. Pupils enjoyed using it, make maximum use of
it freely. Having been able to create
something which will benefit my student who come mostly from poor family is a
great pride for me. Even my colleagues made use of it
Institutions
do not have to claim ownership of
education materials. As an author one has the right
to be recognised as the author, the right to the integrity of the work and the
right not to have the work adapted, modified or distorted in a way that would
lessen the author's reputation.
