Birds of a Feather at CTNX2016

On November 19, 2016 from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. join ASIFA-Hollywood’s Bird of a feather for a lively discussion.

The Instructor and the Institution – Intellectual Property in the Current Educational Model
For this year’s gathering, we will be wading into the tricky territory of intellectual property rights. Our discussion will touch such topics as academic freedom, ownership of a course syllabus and the wide range of factors associated with online usage. As always, this is primarily a group conversation so all experiences, concerns and questions will be most welcome.
