Description

Classroom teaching is enhanced by the use of creative works such as music, video, art, the written word, theatrical works, charts and graphs, and more. Most of these works are subject to U.S. Copyright law. What kind of rights and responsibilities do you have in the use of this germane and useful material in your teaching and scholarship? What should students know for their own education and use? Does it make a difference if you're teaching face-to-face or in an online environment? What are some of the consequences for non-compliance?

Please join a team drawn from ASU's Office of General Counsel, Learning Technology Services, and the Library as we try and shed some light, raise issues and awareness, and engage in a discussion on copyright in the higher education environment.
