<p>The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) has a programme of intellectual property
(IP) education, covering all forms of IP including copyright. This IPO provides teaching
resources covering all ages of education, from early years through to university.
All elements of this work are developed in partnership with industry as well as IP
professionals.</p><p> </p><p>This year the IPO will update its crackingideas.com website
to develop it into a portal for all education resources. The portal will target teachers
and university tutors, providing them with a variety of resources that link into curriculum
subjects to bring IP to life and make it easy to introduce IP issues including copyright
into the classroom. It will bring together the various products of the IPO as well
as linking to other material developed by partners. A cross section of representatives
from the creative industries are providing input to the development of resources and
the IPO has already commissioned focus group research with teachers to ensure that
all resources are effective. The portal will complement other IPO initiatives to raise
understanding of copyright, including Music Inc, a downloadable game about the music
industry and the impact of piracy.</p>
