Educators use a lot of third party copyright material,and often create their own copyright works or collaborate with other parties (vendors, partners, students, etc.) to create works.
IPOS International (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Intellectual Property of Singapore) worked very closely with educators and MOE to specially curate and develop this programme for educators and MOE officers.
The objective of this programme is to equip MOE Teachers and Officers with the skills and knowledge to understand and address intellectual property (IP) challenges faced in their course of work.
Hear from our participants:
“Every aspect of the course is useful.The examples and case studies help to reinforce concepts learnt”
“The tutor is very engaging and knowledgeable in MOE-specific, practical matters and contexts.”
“Thank you for the very enlightened materials and instructions.”
