Advances in online learning technology represent a paradigm shift in education and training, enabling near-universal access and free online courses.

This interactive presentation will address the following issues that pertain to content ownership in online education:

• Using third party copyrighted content with permission
• Fair use theory and practice
• Creating contracts that address ownership of multi-media materials
• Updating work-for-hire and institutional IP policies for online learning
