Managing Intellectual Property Rights in Digital Learning Materials: A Development Pack for Institutional RepositoriesThe main part of the pack: Word .doc format- 1.5Mb. Word .docx format - 2.4Mb. PDF format - 2.2Mb. This institutional development pack for managing IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) in e-learning is intended to support those who wish to update and clarify their institutional policies and infrastructures to help get the best out of using technology to support teaching and learning. Confusion, lack of awareness, poor practice, contradictory policy and risk aversion currently dominate thinking about this subject at all levels – particularly amongst senior management. This is presenting a major obstacle to the effective uptake of e-learning in our tertiary education system. In this pack we explicitly link the task of overhauling the IPR regimes in our institutions to the organisational and professional ‘process change' that is required to make effective use of e-learning – especially in relation to the introduction and extension of flexible learning delivery. The introduction to the development pack contains user notes for how to use the pack and the resources in the Appendix below. Appendix to the Development PackThe resources below are meant to be used in conjunction with the development pack.
