The wording in this module is confusing and difficult to process what it is actually asking. The reflective task was confusing.
This practice takes time.
Good part of this module- Trying to find a working version of some of todays resources can be extremely frustrating and finding if there are initial system incompatibilities can be time consuming and then you find that often the students cannot get the resources to work on their own computers.
I did not find this helpful, it lacked in content and could have done with more examples.
A helpful module.
Plagiarism recap
I thought it was a confusing end to the module
Very practical
This was a good module, it was a quick overview without giving loads of detail around some of the technical aspects which would have been good.
I particularly enjoyed the 'Further Resources' - spent ages looking through them.
Again, looking forward to investigating some of the resources, especially creative commons.
This training program is very confusing and unclear

So when you have become an IT expert, Copyright complaint, Safeguarding proficient and have spare time on your hands, this is for you.
I do not wish to provide feedback at this time. Thank you very much indeed.
The training had some useful reminders about the problems with digital sources online and availability/copyright.
I found this really useful
Useful info, especially on Creative Commons as a resource.
There is a way round most hurdles as regards using resources from outside the institution, even to the extreme of producing your own. That said you don't want to re-invent the wheel if the wheel is available in one form or another
useful content - thank you
Some good tips for what to do if things don't work.
useful
OK but no particuarly useful information
ok
Excellent points!
Great! I've learned a couple of technical things I didn't know. There is always a way around it!
Pretty much knew the content from CPD sessions at work
This was useful in the detail about creative commons for sharing resources but sometimes this is a time constraint.
The module made it clear that there are several issues that need to be considered before selecting online resources. It's not simply the case of whether the content looks appropriate: if it cannot be run for copyright or technical reasons, and these cannot be overcome, it may be easier to create one's own.
An informative bite-size unit with lots of useful links.
