ANNOUNCEMENT AND INVITATION
Intellectual Property in Academia Workshop Series: Faculty Ownership and
Plagiarism Online Workshops
http://www.umuc.edu/distance/odell/cip/workshop_ipacademia/
The Center for Intellectual Property at the University of Maryland
University College is hosting an asynchronous online workshop series
this fall that is of interest to faculty, university counsel,
librarians, curricular design and information professionals. The first
online workshop in the series will be on Faculty Ownership, August 6,
2001 to August 22, 2001. The second workshop will be Preventing and
Detecting Plagiarism, from October 1, 2001 to October 19, 2001. Each
workshop will last approximately three weeks, providing the participants
with an in-depth understanding of two core intellectual property issues
facing higher education in today's rapidly changing digital environment.
Faculty Ownership of Course Material in the Online Classroom
August 6, 2001 to August 22, 2001
Moderated by Georgia Harper, Esq.
One of the most controversial and timely topics facing colleges and
universities today is the ownership and control of the scholarly
materials created by faculty - particularly those created in connection
with Web-based courses. Many campuses across the country have either
recently revised their policies or are in the process of studying this
issue. When does a professor's creative work belong to the professor and
when does it belong to the institution? How are the factors enunciated
in CCNV v. Reid to be used in determining ownership? Are some factors
more important than others? Can contract provisions alter the ownership
question?
Georgia Harper, Esq. manages the Intellectual Property Section of The
University of Texas System Office of General Counsel. She conducts
local, state, regional and national workshops and seminars on copyright
issues and has been an advisor to the Association of American
Universities, the National Association of State Universities and Land
Grant Colleges and the American Council on Education, as well as the
National Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage in connection with
its Copyright and Fair Use Town Meetings. Ms. Harper is the author of
the frequently referenced online publications, The Copyright Crash
Course
(http://www.utsystem.edu/OGC/IntellectualProperty/cprtindx.htm#top) and
the Crash Course Tutorial. (http://www.lib.utsystem.edu/copyright/)
Preventing and Detecting Plagiarism in the Digital Environment
October 1, 2001 to October 19, 2001
Moderated by Rebecca Moore Howard, Ph.D.
Is the writer/reader relationship to text profoundly changed online? Can
assignments be redesigned to avoid plagiarism in the online and face to
face classroom? Are academic policies properly addressing campus
plagiarism issues? This dynamic workshop series will provide
participants with an in-depth understanding of the plagiarism issues
facing higher education today.
Rebecca Moore Howard, Associate Professor of Writing and Rhetoric and
Director and Chair of The Writing Program at Syracuse University, will
moderate this workshop series. Rebecca Moore Howard
(http://wrt-howard.syr.edu/) chairs and directs the Writing Program at
Syracuse University and has written extensively on issues concerning
plagiarism including, Standing in the Shadow of Giants: Plagiarists,

Teaching Writing in the Disciplines (1995); coeditor of Coming of Age:
