This chapter explores the intricacies of intellectual property rights, particularly copyright, as they relate to faculty-created educational content during the transition to remote instruction. It highlights the necessity for clear institutional policies and agreements to navigate shared ownership and licensing challenges in the evolving educational landscape.
Thomas Tobin shares about copyright for the rest of us on episode 411 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
Just because you are an academic and you made a copy doesn’t mean it is for an academic purpose.
-Thomas Tobin
We hear more about what you can’t do, rather than what you can [when making copies of materials].
-Thomas Tobin
[As a layperson, I can tell you that] the law is the last resort. The law only applies when there is no other permission or license in place.
