Our Instructional Designers and Media team work with you to prepare your course and the Course Administration and Exam teams provide ongoing support as you teach the course.

Intellectual Property in Online Courses

The development of online course materials by University faculty presents some unusual questions for both the creators of those courses, departmental executive officers and university administrators. Discuss with your DEO how compensation for the development of materials and resources may affect rights to course materials.
