On October 30th, ARL and EDUCAUSE will offer "The TEACH Act and Distance
Learning: Doing the Digital" to give viewers via Webcast direct access
to some of the prominent experts in the TEACH Act arena. The Technology,
Education, and Copyright Harmonization (TEACH) Act was enacted in late
2002. This new law redefines the terms and conditions for the use of
copyrighted materials in online learning environments, providing both
new opportunities but also new responsibilities. Every nonprofit
educational institution needs to be fully aware of the provisions of
this important new law.

Donna L. Ferullo, Director of University Copyright Office at Purdue
University, will begin the session with an overview of the TEACH Act and
some of its implications for educators, librarians, and administrators.
Ms. Ferullo will then moderate a panel discussion with Peggy Hoon
(Scholarly Communication Librarian, North Carolina State University) and
Rodney Petersen (Policy Analyst and Security Task Force Coordinator,
EDUCAUSE) focusing on practical approaches for implementing the various
provisions of the TEACH Act. The panel will also respond to viewer
questions.

Webcasts provide affordable training that allow for individual or group
participation on your campus, incorporating live video, PowerPoint
slides, and interactive question-and-answer discussion to make the most
of this learning event. In addition, after the Webcast, registrants will
be able to view a frequently-asked-questions list compiled from the
discussion.

Target audience:
+ Instructional designers and distance education providers
+ College and university general counsel and administrators
+ Faculty who teach
+ Librarians who want to stay current with copyright law developments,
particularly those who work with teaching faculty to develop online
course curriculum

This Web cast is being designed and managed by ARL's Office of
Leadership and Management Services. OLMS has over 20 years of experience
in the design and delivery of leadership programs. This is OLMS's
premiere Webcast.
