EDT-FPX5104B examines the digital rights and responsibilities of teachers, including ethical use of open educational resources (OER) and providing a safe online learning environment for students. It's the second course in the EDT-FPX5104 sequence — where 5104A built the dispositional groundwork, 5104B turns to concrete legal/ethical obligations, before 5104C moves to enhancing digital learning and 5104D addresses guiding student behavior. This guide breaks down what the course typically requires and how academic support for EDT-FPX5104B fits into a self-paced course that still expects accurate handling of copyright, licensing, and online safety standards.
Course Overview
Per the Capella catalog, this course examines "digital rights and responsibilities of teachers, including ethical use of open educational resources and providing a safe online learning environment for students." Expect the assessment to require working knowledge of OER licensing (Creative Commons types), copyright/fair use boundaries for classroom materials, and policies/practices that protect student safety online (FERPA-adjacent concerns, acceptable use, digital footprint awareness).

Common Challenges in This Course
A frequent mistake is conflating "open" with "free to use any way you like" — most rubrics specifically test whether you understand that different OER licenses (CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC BY-NC, etc.) carry different obligations. On the online safety side, students often write generic statements about cyberbullying awareness without naming concrete classroom policies or tools that would actually be implemented.
