Workshop Description
Introduction: 

Formerly titled: What You Need to Know About Copyright Compliance

Copyright infringement lawsuits against institutions of higher education are no longer a hypothetical.  A number of different universities around the country have been named in lawsuits alleging various types of infringements.  The cases involve everything from posting articles and book chapters to e-reserves, course web sites, or learning management systems to streaming video and digitizing orphan works.  Using the framework of Six Rules for Course Design, this workshop will cover all the basics.  In addition to examining the rules governing who owns the copyright to works created in educational institutions, the rights of users will also be addressed.  This includes an overview of fair use (including the fair use guidelines) and the TEACH Act.

  • Presentations, readings, web links, discussion threads and other materials, viewable online for 1 year

Moodle: Sloan-C uses an open-source LMS called Moodle for the asynchronous component of workshops. Moodle provides a flexible and user-friendly set of asynchronous collaboration and learning tools. As with most open-source technologies, the Moodle software is free, making it a very cost-effective software package for any institution or company, without sacrificing quality. Moodle is a robust environment that is dynamic, interactive, and provides cross-platform learner access through a standard web browser.

System Requirements

Moodle will work in any modern web browser, however, moodle works best in a range of specific browser types (see below). Your browser should also have both cookies and javascript enabled. These are typically enabled by default, but if you think these settings might need enabling, check the documentation for your particular browser for how to do these.

To make best use of what moodle has to offer, it is recommended that users choose a browser that supports moodle's in-line HTML editor. This is a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor with an interface much like you would see in most word processing packages.

This in-line HTML editor will only appear if you use one of a specific range of browser types that knows how to start the editor. If you do not use one of these browser types, you can still use moodle just fine, but without the luxury of a WYSIWYG editor. Luckily, there is a supported browser that will work on all major operating system types. The list of supported and not supported browsers is shown below:

Browsers that support the HTML editor Browsers that do not support the HTML editor

Internet Explorer (v5.5 or later) 
Firefox (all versions) 
Mozilla (v1.7 or later)
