| The use of digital content in enterprises, governments and institutions is exploding. But who is managing that content? And what are the rules? Can I republish licensed content? Or post it on our Web site? Can I store it, and forward it to others? Can I save digital content in our enterprise's database?
Over the past few years, most enterprises have established procedures for managing computer software to ensure compliance with software licenses and copyright law. These same enterprises are now uncertain of the rules for managing digital content. Such management involves legal, strategic, policy and practical considerations.
This online course is designed to provide clarity in managing digital content today and into the future. Just register, then sit back and relax....the e-lessons will arrive in your inbox. No passwords to remember or Web sites to visit to obtain the e-lessons. Just to make sure you pay attention to these e-lessons, a quiz testing your knowledge for that particular e-lesson is included in each lesson. One of the most valuable parts of this course is its exclusive moderated listserv where you can discuss the course's issues and your particular questions with the other participants.
Who should take this course: anyone who licenses, acquires, or uses digital copyright-protected materials that are 'owned' by others. It is aimed at: CIOs, CKOs, CTOs, information/knowledge architects, IS/IT professionals, information professionals, knowledge/Intranet/Internet/document/content/IP managers, human resource professionals and educators. Because the use of digital content is a global issue, this course is intended for a global audience.
The course runs eight weeks and is in an independent learning format. We accept late enrollments, for as long as two weeks into the course. Students do not have to be available at any specific time, nor at any specific location. The classroom is open 24 hours per day and accessible from anywhere.
The course is developed by author, speaker and copyright lawyer, Lesley Ellen Harris.
