Dealing with copyright
a 1½ day workshop with Madeleine Gilbart and Richard McCracken
Date: 5 April 2000, 09.30-17.00. 6 April, 09.30-1300.
If you're producing learning materials, you may well want to draw on other
people's work. But how to do so without infringing their rights? It explores
the practicalities of rights clearance as a core part of the production
process. This is your opportunity to discuss your own specific rights
problems with experienced practitioners.
Venue: The Open University Training Centre, Cofferidge Close, Stony
Stratford, Milton Keynes.
Who will benefit: Everyone engaged in the acquisition, creation,
presentation and distribution of educational materials. It will be of
particular interest to those responsible for or engaged in the production of
materials incorporating materials taken from other sources. The course will
range from issues surrounding photocopying and simple video recording
through to the more complex rights issues cast by the new and emerging
digital technologies.
Workshop aims: The workshop should help you explore and gain practical
insights into the following issues:
1. Copyright: What does it protect? How can it be used without clearance?
2. Collective licensing and licensing arrangements.
3. Rights - how do rights differ from copyright?
4. Broadcast and audio visual clearances.
5. Computer based systems.
6. Multimedia: So what makes it so different?
Fee: £250, less 10% discount if you book more than one place on this or any
of our other workshops or courses. (Each workshop member will receive a copy
of Buying and Clearing Rights: Print, Broadcast and Multimedia.)

Open and distance learning systems evaluation workshop
a 1-day workshop with Anne Jelfs
Date: 10 April 2000, 09.30 - 17.00
This workshop combines practical and theoretical issues relating to the
evaluation of open and distance learning systems
Venue: The Open University Training Centre, Cofferidge Close, Stony
Stratford, Milton Keynes.
Who will benefit: Teachers, trainers, managers and course developers
interested in improving their open learning provision with the help of
planned evaluation.
Workshop aims: During the first part of the day participants will gain
hands-on experience of both commonly used and more recently developed survey
research methodology tools. There will also be a discussion on qualitative
methods and how they can used in the evaluation of open and distance
learning systems.
The second part of the day will focus on participants developing their own
frameworks for evaluating open and distance learning systems with particular
reference to their own needs.
By the end of the day we will have considered evaluation systems which would
be suitable for a range of institutions, have gained experience of a range
of data collection methods and have drawn together a first outline for an
evaluation programme suited to individual needs.
Fee: £195, less 10% discount if you book more than one place on this or any
of our other workshops or courses. (Each workshop member will receive a copy
of Programme Evaluation and Quality by Judith Calder)
