Many learning activities and practice assignments in this course ask you to visit various external websites. You will find links to these resources throughout the course. To support your coursework, use these links and others you find on your own.

To incorporate images in your practice assignments, please check the associated rights on the website or web page where you located the image. Also, you may want to find out the rules, where you live, regarding copyright of materials used for private research and study. A local public, school, or university librarian may be able to assist you with your questions about copyright and whether you can reuse, in your own work, the images you find online.

Suggestions for new resources that broaden the scope and cultural content of the links are especially welcome. You can contact the course development team at Thompson Rivers University, Open Learning, by writing your suggestions on the discussion for this page (click the discussion tab, above).
