Abstract

This presentation will look at a collaboration strategy with campus library resources to address copyright compliance issues.

Extended Abstract

"The use of educational video and television in classrooms has risen steadily over the past 20 to 30 years, according to a series of studies conducted by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting" (CPB, 1997). This rise in use is also being seen in the online environment of the SUNY Oswego Campus. A steadily increasing number of faculty are requesting videos of various types be made accessible to students within online classes. The challenge this has caused for Instructional Design and Learning Management is to make this material available to students without violating copyright laws and potentially opening the college up to litigation. To confront this issue the Instructional Designers of SUNY Oswego have worked closely with the library staff to create a process that vets requests for video content and obtain the necessary copyright permissions as necessary. This presentation will go over the process we have developed at SUNY Oswego, touch on the technologies we have used, and will look at actual implementations of the process and faculty reactions.
