“I now have much firmer footing around the laws that govern copyright. I can speak from a much more knowledgeable position and can advise my staff in a much more knowledgeable way than I would have been able to prior to the course. And I was really pleased with how flexible the instructor was.”

— Monique Mackey, North Carolina Area Health Education Centers

  • recommended readings and resources for each course (200-plus recommended resources in total);
  • written course materials that can be downloaded and used after the program ends;
  • opportunities to interact with fellow students;
