Digital Rights Ecosystems

Monday, January 26, 2004
3:20 p.m. - 5:20 p.m. CONSES16

Geoff Collier, Senior Partner, Eduworks Corporation

James Dalziel, Director, Macquarie ELearning Centre of Excellence(MELCOE), Macquarie University

Robby Robson, President of EduWorks, Oregon State University

NLII Key Theme - New Learning Ecosystems

Demonstrator projects and prototypes in Australia, Canada, and elsewhere are exploring the problems of managing intellectual property rights in ecosystems that include learning object repositories, course management systems, and collaborative technology. These examples, a set of carefully defined terms of reference, and your own experiences and imagination will form the basis for exploring the challenges of distributed rights management and the standards and technologies that are being developed to meet those challenges. You will examine definitions, work on scenarios and use cases, and act out roles in a digital rights ecosystem. This is not a "listen and take notes" session: you will be asked to answer questions, to work with others, and to fully engage in exploring the emerging conceptual frameworks and technological details of rights management in a distributed networked environment.

Rediscovering Fair Use in the Debate Over Digital Copyright

Monday, January 26, 2004
2:10 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. CONSES13

Garret Sern, Government Relations Officer, EDUCAUSE

NLII Key Theme - Policy Issues

The national dialogue on digital copyright has degraded into a mudslinging contest between the entertainment community, peer-to-peer network services, and self-proclaimed "advocates" of free speech. In the midst of attempting to curb the illegal downloading of copyright material and crafting new business models, the voice of fair use has been lost among the shouting. Presenters will discuss how higher education can help elevate the dialogue, outlining the major issues that will persist beyond the current debate over peer-to-peer technology, and why we can't just treat this as a "bandwidth problem."

Teaching the TEACH Act at Penn State

Tuesday, January 27, 2004
12:50 p.m. - 1:50 p.m. CONSES32

John T. Harwood, Senior Director, Teaching and Learning with Technology, The Pennsylvania State University

NLII Key Theme - Policy Issues

The passage of the TEACH Act in November 2002 clarified important sections of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1999. In February 2002, Penn State charged a committee to examine how Penn State should implement the TEACH Act. Some key questions were: How could we best inform the Penn State community of the new legislation and its implications for how we use the Web in teaching and learning? What kinds of educational programs (seminars, workshops, publications, and so forth) would be most effective? How could we encourage faculty and students to understand and comply with the principles of "fair use"? How could we help faculty and students obtain permissions to use copyrighted materials if permissions are required? This presentation summarizes what we have learned so far about implementing the TEACH Act and suggests that universities should find ways to share insights, strategies, and resources.
