Tune In January 13: Copyright Balance and Fair Use in Networked Learning

Created by Peggy Kurkowski (EDUCAUSE) on January 6, 2009

Copyright balancing has become a critical issue in the academy as digital practices increasingly have challenged creaky policies and practices. Scholars, academic administrators, librarians, and intellectuals, as well as their students and mentees, need reasonable access to copyrighted culture to research and produce new knowledge. Academics have begun to explore their rights under copyright law to quote copyrighted culture, especially under the doctrine of fair use.

In this free January 13 EDUCAUSE Live! Web Seminar, Copyright Balance and Fair Use in Networked Learning: Lessons from Creators' Codes of Best Practices, presenters Patricia Aufderheide, professor and director, Center for Social Media, School of Communication, and Peter Jaszi, professor of law, American University, will discuss their collaboration to facilitate the creation of these codes and discuss how this model might apply to the academic environment.

Those unable to attend may wish to visit the archives after the event or browse related EDUCAUSE resources on Copyright, Fair Use, Federal Copyright Law, and Intellectual Property.
