This may be of great interest to us who are interested in specifically 
educational exceptions to the DMCA discussed recently, and other new 
situations in the land of copyright law.

The TEACH Act and Distance Learning: Doing the Digital Thursday,
October 30, 2003 3-4:30 p.m. EST / 12 noon-1:30 p.m. Pacific
Registration Fee: $150/connection license

On October 30th, ARL and EDUCAUSE will offer "The TEACH Act and
Distance Learning: Doing the Digital" to give viewers via Webcast direct
access to some of the prominent experts in the TEACH Act arena. The
Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization (TEACH) Act was
enacted in late 2002. This new law redefines the terms and conditions
for the use of copyrighted materials in online learning environments,
providing both new opportunities but also new responsibilities. Every
nonprofit educational institution needs to be fully aware of the
provisions of this important new law.

Donna L. Ferullo, Director of University Copyright Office at Purdue
University, will begin the session with an overview of the TEACH Act
and some of its implications for educators, librarians, and
administrators. Ms. Ferullo will then moderate a panel discussion with
Peggy Hoon (Scholarly Communication Librarian, North Carolina State
University) and Rodney Petersen (Policy Analyst and Security Task Force
Coordinator, EDUCAUSE) focusing on practical approaches for implementing
the various provisions of the TEACH Act. The panel will also respond to
viewer questions.

Webcasts provide affordable training that allow for individual or group
participation on your campus, incorporating live video, PowerPoint
slides, and interactive question-and-answer discussion to make the most
of this learning event. In addition, after the Webcast, registrants
will be able to view a frequently-asked-questions list compiled from
the discussion.

Target audience:
+ Instructional designers and distance education providers College and
+ university general counsel and administrators Faculty who teach
+ Librarians who want to stay current with copyright law developments,
particularly those who work with teaching faculty to develop online
course curriculum

This Web cast is being designed and managed by ARL's Office of
Leadership and Management Services. OLMS has over 20 years of
experience in the design and delivery of leadership programs. This is
OLMS's premiere Webcast.
