Pop-Up Clinics About Teaching (CATs)

Do you know of a colleague who is doing innovative work in the classroom that might be of interest to other faculty members? Are you doing something innovative that you would be willing to demonstrate to other faculty?

With regular frequency, we hear about innovative and exciting teaching practices that are happening across various departments and colleges at Marshall University. There are also a number of faculty members who offer to demonstrate interesting and innovative teaching practices to their peers, hoping to get valuable feedback to increase their own teaching effectiveness. The CTL offers a professional development opportunity for faculty to showcase these teaching practices – the Pop-Up Clinics About Teaching (CATs).

Copyright is ever-changing and effects both online and face-to-face classes, but not knowing the rules (or refusing to learn the rules), won’t keep faculty out of trouble. Together, we will lead participants in a brief workshop to analyze their course materials, and participants will have an opportunity to ask questions. Goals: provide an overview of fair use and the need to review the 4 fair use factors before using materials; review changes to public domain and the need to look closely at each instance of use;  share background on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), defining the three actions prohibited by the DMCA, presenting the permanent exclusions, sharing how the DMCA can adapt to new technology using the triennial rulemaking process for temporary exclusions, discussing how faculty could propose exclusions in the next triennial; and, reviewing copyright in the context of distance course reviews with examples from Blackboard.

Moderator: Dena Laton
