My approach to this would probably just be to have links in the course that direct students to where the article is already hosted. Does your situation make that not possible? << How does a site likehttp://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/get the copyrights to publish its excellent materials which are based on real news articles? >> I'm not sure, but it looks like they read news articles and then write their own summaries. << And the admirable works by Susan Heyer *True stories in the news* series. How does the copyright law work allowing her to produce ESL books based on actual articles? I would like to write materials using published news articles, but don't know how to get the copyrights permissions. Do they have to be purchased? >> You mean you want to read the news, then write your own materials based on what you learned? I don't think copyright is that stupid yet, even in the U.S. If that's what you want to do you don't have to pay for that. They don't own your brain! -=Steve=- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
