By Colleen Sedgwick

In Study Period 1: BSBDES403A and BSBCRT401A, you were asked to develop a professional development plan for keeping current on copyright issues, to set a timetable for checking on legislation, bookmarking relevant websites and periodically researching new developments. Armed with the knowledge gained from this learner guide, how would you change or improve this plan?

  • Making notes of when I upload material material
  • Making notes of when someone infringes on my material (or I have been put on notice by other people).
  • Keeping a diary of the above.
