Cheesy memes are a great way to get someone’s attention, but did you know copyright applies to all areas of higher education, not just the classroom? This session will cover the basics of copyright and how to apply fair use when creating all kinds of marketing and social media content. We will also discuss best practices concerning materials with a Creative Common license, and how to know if you can use something without permission or actually need to cite it.
