Conference/Workshop: Legal Aspects of Online Learning Environments
1-2 June 2005, University of Warwick
________________________________
Legal issues in education are a growing concern. If it's not an aggrieved
student seeking damages and raising negative publicity, it's the quality
inspection declaring no confidence due to non-compliance.
Yet VLEs and MLEs are often developed on a technology-first, pedagogy-
second, anything-else-is-afterthought model.
Soon, you may be faced with:
* a raft of non-accessible content pages developed by eager and under-aware
tutors.
* Or perhaps with a student submitting a s.10 notice under the Data
Protection Act 1998 to request non-processing of his data on the MLE.
* Or the discovery that an enthusiastic tutor has scanned in hundreds of
pages of journal articles, and the CLA want to know how such a breach of
copyright happened.
* And nothing said of the tutor who has just spent vast amounts of her time
writing materials from scratch, when other people's materials could have
been copyright cleared.
The Legal Aspects of Online Learning Environments Conference/Workshop will
deal with these issues head on, giving you:
* informed, practical information from expert speakers knowledgeable about
law and practice in the tertiary education sectors
* practical tools to allow you avoid legal issues and to comply with
regulation regarding the development of a VLE or MLE
* the opportunity to work through case study examples of good practice on
the one hand and pitfalls on the other in relation to the legal issues
involved in VLE and MLE development and use
* the chance to quiz lawyers on any particular queries you may have in
relation to the legal aspects of online learning environments
* the ability to send JISC Legal any questions you want answered at the
Conference/Workshop
* a valuable opportunity to network with colleagues facing similar
challenges, to share ideas and experience
AND
* an up-to-the-minute briefing on the CLA HE Digitisation Licence agreement
in principle, from Professor Sol Picciotto, a member of the UUK/SCOP
negotiating committee
We're pleased to have as keynote speakers Dr Anne Wright CBE (DfES E-
Learning Strategy Unit) and a Partner from Pinsent Masons Solicitors,
experts in technology and tertiary education law.
