Attributions

What is an attribution?
As part of copyright, an attribution requires giving credit to an author. Always check carefully for the Terms of Use before using others' materials.
What materials need an attribution?

All content that you did not create must list the author/owner and their licensing agreement. For example, someone else's image, video, or open textbook can be included in the content for your course, with clear attribution to the owner.

The instructional designers require that you submit the URL or origination as well as the files of any materials to be included in the course. They will verify the attribution and place it appropriately with the materials to be visible with roll-over text, in a caption, or placed in a text field.
