Library Copyright Institute

You are invited to attend the Library Copyright Institute Links to an external site. for four, two-hour sessions running from noon - 2:00 p.m. Central / 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Eastern on July 10, July 17, July 24, and July 31. This is a special offering for this program. Former instructor Will Cross is one of the facilitators. 

Description:

Copyright and open licenses are a foundational aspect of OER. But not every institution has a full-time attorney on staff to help guide practice through the nuances of ownership of instructional materials, strategies for incorporating content under fair use, or international sharing and remix. In order to help Certificate participants understand and teach these issues at their own institutions the OEN has partnered with the Library Copyright Institute Links to an external site. to host an OER-focused version of the popular Copyright Institute program. 

The Institute will be held over four two-hour sessions and will be organized around affinity groups in OER. Topics will include copyright fundamentals, copyright for open pedagogy, copyright issues in affordable course materials, and copyright in remix and publishing.

These sessions will be recorded as much as possible, but recording is not possible for breakout rooms or feasible during Q & A time, so in order to fully experience this event, you will need to attend synchronously. These  sessions require advance registration. This is a special opportunity, and while it is not mandated, we highly recommend it; last year's cohort gave it an enthusiastic review. 

Here is the link to register and use for all sessions:
