Video Series

Our video series are collections of videos around certain topics in online and continuous learning. In many cases, the video series are generated from our OLLIE courses for teachers. Videos are curated by Evan Abbey, Director for AEA Learning Online.

We received the following question:

We have a teacher who was using the Apollo 13 movie as part of his class instruction with his engineering class. Now that we are moving to online required learning, we need to be able to move the content to our Canvas LMS. Can this be done without violating copyright laws?

Good question! Not an easy answer. With that, we give you our Crash Course in Copyright for Continuous Learning.
