This page contains my own personal notes from the conference. It's my own notes -- I usually don't write down things I'm already familiar with so it may or may not be useful for you.

Copyright
- close paraphrasing is considered as a copy
- using a poster in the background of a video: needs permission
TEACH Act: allows educators to use materials
- only applies during teaching time
- Access must be temporary: PSU interprets this as the length of the course (for world campus, it's 6 months)
- ANGLE takes care of "try to control downsream distribution"
Fair Use
- economically not justifiable
- case by case
- transformative: the different objective from the original author's objective
- if the original work is not published, unlikely to be fair use
- factual work can be used by the public
- home recording of the entire football game: ok; copy two or three notes of a musical hook, not ok.
Parody
- free speech: to make fun of it is better than supporting it
Questions
- Plagrism is not copyright infringement in the US. it's more of a moral issue and has more to do with giving credit
- typically quotation is considered fair use: text, movie, website
- contract preempt the copyright law
- linking is always safer than copying
- tell students: "if you want your work to leave this classroom (show to your potential employer), you need to get permission or produce your own work."
pitches
- facebook to communicate with students

- courseware: it's within faculty's power to make their course open
- Professionalism: Mihael Davis: Profession, Code, and Ethics
- students paying for the access to professors, assessment, etc., not for the materials
- interaction between "paying students" and the open community
