Getting students to be aware and concerned about their ethical use of digital material is a real challenge for our day. I know that at Aquinas we have tried to inform and persuade students to use sites like 'creative commons' and 'flcikr' but it's not always easy when google images is just so easy and bountiful.
With my e-learning project a few years ago I made it a mandatory part of a formal assessment that for their video presentation they had to use material from digitally ethical sources. However, this caused a number of issues mostly centred around availability of the right type of sources. The assessment was eventually amended with only aspects of the presentation needing to come from ethically correct sources (some being better than none).
