Summary

In this final chapter, we looked at copyright issues while using digital works created by others, analyzing some uses that fit under the fair use umbrella, which is of most interest to teachers and trainers. We also learned about other kinds of licenses, such as Creative Commons licenses, that don't just describe allowed uses of the author of a work but also provide a way of licensing our multimedia works on the Web. We learned how to reference the sources that we use in our creations by using the APA style guide, which is one of many styles available for doing this. Not least, we considered some safety issues while having our students involved in and exposed to larger web communities, and examined some criteria for selecting web-based applications to use and communities to be part of. Finally, we looked at some plugins that have been developed by Moodle developers and that can help us integrate Moodle multimedia elements.

After all of these pages, we've finally come to the end of this book. I hope you have found it useful for introducing multimedia in your Moodle courses, and most of all, I hope this new way of doing things brings performance, not just for your teaching but particularly for your students' learning. Without this, any effort or innovation is nonsense.

This book was written around a very simple idea—we, teachers, trainers, and most of all, students with free and accessible tools and some basic know-how, can create simple multimedia elements and tasks easily and integrate them in Moodle for learning in our everyday lives. I hope you find this idea useful and more than that, effective. And by using multimedia in Moodle not just as a product for better delivery, but also to improve the ways in which students can construct, you can bring more imagination and learning to your classes.
