 * DETT 611 Library and Intellectual Property Issues in Distance Education **Summer 2011

These are the various artifacts that I have collected for this course:
The first assignmet required that I select an article on a __copyright topic__ //related to distance education// and prepare a bibliographic reference for the article according to APA citation style and include a 2-3 page summary of the article along with comments on the intellectual property dimensions and the challenges posed for a distance education environment.



Here are the Instructor's Comments:

In this assignment, I was to review the copyright/faculty ownership policy from a selected institution of interest to me. The focus was to be on faculty ownership issues. I was asked to summarize the policy on copyright and critique its strengths and weaknesses with an eye for issues related to course ownership. If distinctions are made, I was to describe the application of the policy to a distance education setting. If no distinctions are made, I had to analyze the policy to see if there are answers to key questions under the policy regarding course ownership, for ongoing use of the course materials by the faculty creator, student created work, whether the policy would encourage or discourage innovation and development of online course materials.

The third assignment asked me to select two scenarios from a list that the instructor provided and write on the copyright laws and issues raised by these scenarios, comparing and contrasting each of the chosen scenarios with the other.

Here are the Instructor's Comments:

The fourth assignment was similar to the first in that I had to select an article on an __information literacy__ //related to distance education// and prepare a bibliographic reference for the article you read according to APA citation style. Again, a summary and comments on the article were to be included, as well.
