See below, from http://www.copyright.iupui.edu/teach_summary.htm --Judy Shoaf New Copyright Law for Distance Education: The Meaning and Importance of the TEACH Act Original: September 30, 2002 Revision: November 10, 2003 Prepared by: Kenneth D. Crews, Professor of Law Director, Copyright Management Center Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis Email: kcrews @ iupui.edu Website: www.copyright.iupui.edu Duties of Institutional Policymakers 2. Copyright policy. The educational institution must "institute policies regarding copyright," although the language does not detail the content of those policies. The implication from the context of the statute, and from the next requirement about "copyright information," suggests that the policies would specify the standards educators and others will follow when incorporating copyrighted works into distance education. For most educational institutions, policy development is a complicated process, involving lengthy deliberations and multiple levels of review and approval. Such formal policymaking might be preferable, but informal procedural standards that effectively guide relevant activities may well satisfy the statutory requirement. In any event, proper authorities within the educational institution need to take deliberate and concerted action. *********************************************** LLTI is a service of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning, and The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (http://consortium.dartmouth.edu).
