"Bringing your own students" and copyright
Two (hypothetical) situations: 1. A teacher "brings their own students" to Wikiversity, expecting them to add content. One or more students really don't want to release their work under an open license. This is probably not a big problem as a teacher should be able to solve it as it comes up, but does Wikiversity offer any advice? Should there at least be a clue here that this can be something to consider? 2. Somewhat more problematic, a teacher doesn't adequately inform their students that their work on Wikiversity is public and free to reuse and change for outsiders, or perhaps a student isn't quite listening. A student (possibly quite young) posts something they would have preferred not to with full information. It's possible the student never really realizes what the situation is, and even if they do and get the material deleted, if they had the rights to it to begin with I suspect someone could argue it is now under open license and free to reuse.

 * As for the second point, when you submit you see a statement that reads: "By saving, you agree to irrevocably release your contribution under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0 and the GFDL." Ottava Rima (talk) 18:12, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course. I was thinking that the risk of missing that could perhaps become a little greater if you've been directed here by some kind of authority who has not been clear enough about this. I'll also stress once again "perhaps very young" as I think I read somewhere around that Wikiversity encourages this a little more than Wikipedia, for example. I'm not sure it's a huge problem, but it could be something to think about. Ever wonder 19:18, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * If people are too concerned I am sure someone could delete the material from the site. Ottava Rima (talk) 19:41, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
