Jean in Newcastle Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 That sounds more like a copyright question for Susan Wise Brown, the owner of this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I believe someone could have the students buy the book and use it as the text for the class, but using at as the basis for a course without having the students purchase it seems like plagiarism to me. One of the questions from this guide from Penn is, Quote Is my use "transformative;" in other words, am I interpreting the material, placing it in a new light or context, or using it for something different than the original author? https://guides.library.upenn.edu/copyright/onlinecourses 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Athena's Academy has a SOTW class. The students each buy the book and the activity pages or Activity guide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Outschool has policies for teaching copyrighted material (fair use, student copies, permission, etc.), and a teacher group on facebook that gets questions answered fairly quickly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Almost all online courses use some text or other books not authored by the instructor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpdesk Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Yes, it is possible to teach SOTW from Outschool. The students need to have copies of the student materials, whether they acquire them themselves or the teacher purchases a license to distribute the student materials to the students digitally. The copyright, purchase, and licensing description is in this FAQ from the WTM Press Help Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
