Web courses Tom Meischeid 05 Sep 2000 11:05 EST
I would like to know how others are dealing with intellectual property
rights of faculty who have "converted" traditional courses into
web-based courses.  For example, one model would consider ownership
rights of the course content and web-based "product" as two distinct
items.

Another factor to consider is whether the faculty are compensated
over-and-above normal salary to develop the web-based course - how are
rights determined and is there a possibility of revenue sharing if the
courses are later commercialized?

Does anyone have a standard agreement that the faculty are asked to
sign?

Lot's of questions about this very sensitive issue!

Thanks in advance.

Tom
