Digital Creativity (Coursera)

Creativity matters, but it’s not always an easy thing to accomplish. From coming up with ideas to protecting your intellectual property, there’s a lot that goes into being a creator. In digital environments, you have a lot of freedom to create content of various kinds — but you also have more to be careful about. The question is, “How do you go about creating and protecting your content in the digital world?”
