Date: November 6,
2013
All webinars are
one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and
2pm Eastern time.
Description: Massive
Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are sweeping the country and libraries and
librarians are watching this development carefully. This series of four
webinars will help librarians gain an understanding of the complexity of the
MOOC “movement,” learn how to support students and faculty engaged with MOOCs,
become familiar with the copyright and intellectual property requirements in
relation to MOOCs, and hear what the future may hold for MOOCs.
The third
webinar, “MOOCs: Copyright Management for Online Courses?” will be presented on
November 6, 2013 by Kevin L. Smith, Director, Copyright and Scholarly
Communication at Duke University Libraries. Libraries have become more
proactive about educating users with regard to their rights and
responsibilities vis à vis copyright and Kevin will offer insights into the
library’s role in settings beyond the traditional classroom model.
Who should
attend? Librarians, library administrators, and library educators interested in
supporting and enhancing libraries’ preparation of and participation in MOOCs.
