Jud Copeland (College of Education)
Recent legislative changes in the U.S. copyright law and intellectual property policies have highlighted the need to broaden knowledge of how information is produced and consumed inside the educational environment. What do instructors need to know about copyright and intellectual property for their own teaching, scholarship and publications? What do they need to know to direct the work product of their students? What do students need to know to become responsible researchers, creators, and authors? This presentation is a direct response to these issues.
