Copyright Confusion and Media Literacy Education
I’m excited the Center for Social Media just announced their upcoming event titled “Mind-Forged Manacles: The Cost of Copyright Confusion for Media Literacy” on the first day of this project. The event at Washington College of Law will address many of the issues I’ll be exploring in this study, including
- “What do teachers know (and don’t know) about copyright?
- How does copyright confusion limit the quality of student learning?
- What are effective solutions to this problem?”
In addition, this course will explore the concept of “fairness” across a wide range of disciplines. The goal is to develop a framework for investigating the challenges facing educators and students in the digital age.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to watch this event live, but I look forward to seeing the archive online.
