Dear Educators, Are you beginning a journey to create interactive storybooks with your students? 🚀 Let's explore the meaning of co-authorship! What is co-authorship? Co-authorship involves the creative and intellectual contributions of multiple authors, leading to a collaborative, shared creation. In creating an interactive storybook, educators and students combine their imaginative, technical and literary skills to create a narrative that is not only educationally powerful, but also a repository of shared ownership and achievement. Why consider co-authorship? - 🔄 Mutual learning: A collaborative platform for sharing ideas, skills and knowledge between all participants. - 👥 Inclusive Creation: Every author contributes unique ideas, helping to ensure that the final story is diverse and enriching. - 🛡️ Legal and Ethical Awareness: Navigating co-authorship also requires an understanding of the legal and ethical issues to secure the respect and legitimate ownership of all participants' contributions. Dive in-depth: Explore the complexities, ethical considerations and legal aspects of co-authorship with a comprehensive research report. Uncover real-world case studies and practical applications in educational environments, and gain insights that can inform your journey into co-authoring with students.
