Description

INTRODUCTION The controversy over who owns academic coursework materials has intensified with the proliferation of online courses. Many faculty believe the intellectual property they produce for coursework belongs entirely to them. Harvard Law School's Arthur Miller demonstrated the profit that can be made from freelance academic work when he produced a video series on (ironically) civil procedure and intellectual property for a course offered at a different online institution. Miller saw this as no different from book publishing deals he had been negotiating for many years (Alger, 2000). At the same time, college and university administrations believe the intellectual property rights of course materials developed by the faculty they employ belong to them. Both faculty and administration believe they have strong arguments in their favor. Intellectual property ownership is especially important in the context of computer-based distance education. This article discusses the merits of the arguments faculty and administration for retaining online intellectual property rights and proposes a compromise that can serve the interests of both the administration and the faculty.
