Digital creation, curation and Copyright: Resources for educators

Educators are busy. In my experience we are often so preoccupied with finding or creating that fantastic teaching resource that we forget about Copyright compliance, or we don't use positive workflows for content curation and file management.

I have curated this list of helpful resources and digital tools relevant to Copyright, digital content creation and curation. I'd love to hear your feedback!
