I seek sage advice from any institution using Blackboard, particularly in
the UK, which has successfully tackled the issues of digital preservation
and version control (say via a central searchable database) of content
placed in the VLE and of copyright wrt materials scan or otherwise acquire
to use in a VLE, in particular illustrated lecture notes which have been
used with an OHP, or as paper handouts. It is not always possible for our
lecturers to prepare materials months in advance, if individual copyright
clearance has to be obtained for each item scanned.
