Intellectual Property Rights in Online Education

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in online education protect the creative works of educators and institutions, such as course materials, videos, and software. In distance learning, these rights ensure that the original content created is not copied or used without permission, fostering innovation and respect for creators. IPR laws govern how these materials can be shared, modified, or sold. Understanding IPR is crucial for both creators and students to navigate the use of educational resources responsibly, ensuring that creators are fairly compensated and credited for their contributions in the digital learning environment.
