Hello! One practical solution to address copyright issues is to create original content or work with content creators who offer licenses specifically for eLearning purposes. By collaborating with subject matter experts and graphic designers, you can develop customized visuals and media that are unique to your eLearning modules, ensuring compliance with copyright regulations.
