The changing nature of technology and the new research on distance learning and technology integration makes it challenging for faculty to stay current on issues of instructional technology. These workshops are designed to meet the needs of full-time and part-time faculty and staff by allowing the individual to tailor his or her instruction by selecting specific workshop sessions and targeting those needs.

Copyright & Fair Use Workshop:
Considerations for reproducing, copying and preparing derivative works
(View MS-PowerPoint Presentation)

Our Copyright and Fair Use Workshop is an opportunity to engage in dialogue concerning the changes -- primarily driven by technology and accelerating availability of digital formats -- taking place in academia and intellectual communication.  The following list are the four (4) workshop topics to be discussed:

Learn How To...

• Brief overview of copyright laws -- including but not limited to the 1976 Copyright Act and the Fair Use Doctrine; the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act; the Digital Millennium Copyright Act; applicable sections of the Patriot Act and the TEACH Act -- as well as an introduction to technological controls and anti-counterfeiting legislation addressing copyrighted information and electronic information resources;
  

• Copyright as applied to the Internet, our private internal intranet, subscription resources and password protected Web-based instruction (e.g., Web Board, Blackboard, etc.);
  

• Copyright and multimedia materials (e.g., music/lyrics, illustrations/photographs, databases and videos) and an introduction to copyright clearinghouse services for academia (e.g., XanEd, McGraw-Hill, Atomic Dog, etc.);
  

• Review of compliance strategies for protecting our institution and academic resources as well as our anti-counterfeiting measures for our computer software assets (e.g., installation and usage of academic site, multi-user licensing, etc.); a discussion of leasing rather than owning of information and other related issues.
  

The objectives of this workshop are to provide information and awareness to better assess and understand what materials and information are protected verses what is not protected by copyright law (i.e., public domain information or materials never covered or no longer covered).  In point of fact, it would consume an entire semester to adequately cover the details of each of these topics.  Obviously, our goal is not to attempt comprehensive coverage or purport any legal expertise in these complicated areas, but rather establish a dialogue using these topic areas to help in the articulation of guidelines that are both practical and reasonable in achieving copyright accountability at our institution balanced with our primary mission of teaching and learning.
