HumaniTech: Bridging Divides, Building Collaborations

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:HumaniTech: Bridging Divides, Building Collaborations (ID: EDU07099)
Author(s):Barbara L. Cohen (University of California, Irvine), Stephen D. Franklin (University of California, Irvine), and Elizabeth Pace (University of California, Irvine)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

HumaniTech links humanities and technology by combining the perspectives and skills of faculty and staff from both humanities and campus-wide resources to work across disciplines and lines that often divide the research university: research/teaching, central/local control, faculty/staff, traditionalists/innovators. HumaniTech focuses on collaboration where IT is essential to these bridge-building efforts rather than a goal in itself.

Courseware Development For Distance Education: Issues And Policy Models For Faculty Ownership

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Courseware Development For Distance Education: Issues And Policy Models For Faculty Ownership (ID: EDU0015)
Author(s):Kimberly B. Kelley (University of Maryland University College)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2000)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:The issue of who owns courseware is of great concern to faculty and the university. Regardless of the type of institution, intellectual property (IP) policies that address ownership are essential to ensure incentives to create courseware, avoid litigation, and avoid competition between institutions. This paper provides an overview of current policies of higher education institutions concerning faculty ownership. You'll learn the issues that universities should consider when creating IP policies that address the emerging area of courseware development and review the current models available for adaptation. Examples currently in use for faculty ownership also will be presented.
