Information Ethics Tutorial

Tutorial Sections
The tutorial includes an introductory section, five main sections, and a quiz:

* Introduction provides an overview of the tutorial itself.
* Understanding instructs the reader about the basics of the copyright system.
* Student focuses on your rights and responsibilities in using copyrighted material in the academic setting.
* Plagiarism defines and describes the repercussions of using someone else's work as your own.
* Digital Copyright narrows the focus to the legalities of all digital media.
* Alternatives provides other types of intellectual property rights, such as Creative Commons or Public Domain.

Each section contains a number of sub-sections. While the sections are arranged in a logical progression, each section can stand on its own, so it is not necessary to follow them in sequence.
