Judy Shoaf Language Learning Center ************************************************************** 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 http://www.arl.org/training/webcast/teach.html 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.
