Using Content in Education

[danceswithcats]

Hi there, I work in adult education within prisons, and have persuaded my boss to try GIMP as a complement/alternative to Photoshop in the computer graphics suite he has set up. WooHoo!

I wondered if it would be okay to copy your marvellous tutorial series as an introduction, initially for my boss only, but, perhaps, later, as the basis for some training courses. As a prison education department we cannot use any web-based material except what can be copied to disk and physically taken into the department: the internet is a no-no.

I understand the licensing allows free use of all the material but it seems to me it represents a huge effort on the part of the author and I would like to know what conventions of acknowledgement and courtesy exist in such circumstances.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

You could copy the site Grokking the Gimp (http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/) and use that in your classes. A download is advertised on the site so obviously no problem using it.
