P2PU and School of Open are delighted to announce that our latest iteration of Copyright 4 Educators Australia has just finished, and with almost 100% retention rate. Over 50 people joined the course, and only 4 dropped out. For those of you who might be wondering what all the fuss is about – this kind of retention rate is almost unheard of in online education, where drop-out rates of at least 60% are the norm.

Copyright 4 Educators Australia is one of the oldest and consistently most popular courses at P2PU. It has run more than 4 iterations, and is designed for educators in Australia who want to learn about copyright, statutory licenses and open educational resources (OER). The course equips Australian educators with the copyright knowledge to confidently use copyright material in the classroom, introduces OER and teaches participants how to find and adapt free, useful resources for their classes.

So big ups to everyone at the School of Open, and particularly to the course facilitators, Delia Browne and Jessica Smith!
