Online Highway Robbery: Is your Intellectual Property Up for Grabs in the Online Classroom?
Do you own the rights to materials in your online course? Many in higher education face the task of creating online materials before considering the issue. This paper examines evolving intellectual property policies for online materials, informing educators that copyright law alone is not the final word on this issue. The author demonstrates that intellectual property policies vary greatly, even among institutions in the same university system and the same geographic area. Knowledge of policies is stressed as an important element in the job market and solutions are offered for faculty faced with outdated ownership policies.
