Copyright & Distance Education Online: A Discussion
A summary of recent and pending legislation having implications for
distance education, such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
(DMCA), will lead off the event. Attendees then will be asked to
respond to questions and scenarios posed by the moderators, bringing
their own teaching and professional experiences to the discussion,
and interacting with meeting moderators and others participating. In
the true spirit of a "town meeting," active engagement by everyone in
the issues raised and healthy debate of the complex problems being
encountered in such areas as fair use of copyrighted materials and
ownership of digital-based courses will be encouraged.
Speakers/Facilitators
James Boyle, Professor of Law, American University
Peggy Hoon, North Carolina State University's scholarly communication

ABOUT THE NINCH COPYRIGHT & FAIR USE TOWN MEETINGS
With support from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the National
Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage is sponsoring a series
of six Copyright Town Meetings for the cultural community during the
year 2000.
The series of day-long and half-day meetings builds on the popular
1997-98 Town Meetings on Copyright & Fair Use, organized jointly with
the American Council of Learned Societies and the College Art
Association, which focused on the Conference on Fair Use and its
aftermath.
The 2000 series of Town Meetings will be held in Chicago, Syracuse,
New York City, Chapel Hill, San Francisco and Baltimore and will be
hosted by the Chicago Historical Society, Syracuse and Cornell
Universities, the College Art Association, the Triangle Research
Library Network (North Carolina), the Visual Resources Association
and the American Association of Museums.
Issues to be covered by the meetings include changes in copyright law
as it affects working on-line; fair use and its on-line future; the
status of the public domain; ownership and access of on-line
copyrighted material; distance education; and the development and
implementation of institutional and organizational copyright policies
and principles.
A hallmark of the Town Meetings will be the balance of expert opinion
and audience participation. Speakers include, among others: Robert
Baron, Howard Besser, Kathleen Butler, Kenneth Crews, Eric Eldred,
Jane Ginsburg, Dakin Hart, Peter Hirtle, Tyler Ochoa, Rodney
Petersen, Christine Sundt, Barry Szczesny, Sandy Thatcher, Richard
Weisgrau and Diane Zorich.
