Privacy is of utmost importance in today's technological world. It is the teacher's responsibility to ensure student privacy and to educate their students on the best privacy practices when online.
There are many useful resources on the Internet. When can a teacher use them? What are the restrictions? Do websites have to be cited? In this lesson, learn about how copyright law applies to information from the Internet.
NOTE: While cellular hotspots may allow access to our courses, users may experience connectivity issues by trying to access our learning management system. This is due to the potential high download and upload latency of cellular connections. Therefore, it is not recommended that students use a cellular hotspot as their primary way of accessing their courses.
NOTE: While we understand that our courses can be viewed on Android and iPhone devices, we do not recommend the use of these devices for our courses. The size of these devices do not provide a good learning environment for students taking online or live online based courses.
