Brainstorm: reasons to care about copyright...
- it's good academic practice. Cite don't steal.
- you would want your original or creative work acknowledged, wouldn't you? Do unto others...
- potential to build collaboration and incentives to share. Share and share alike. (creative commons, trackbacks, notifications).
- it's good digital citizenship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_citizen.
- employers want to know you are following good practice
- students are hired to produce work on behalf of the university
- fine print on your contract with the University (obligation as a student)
- students engage in activities that require knowledge of copyright: preparing presentations using images, writing reports, video with music, etc. (scenarios?)
- students have rights as copyright holders
- co-op students need to know about employers expectations re: copyright
What might we want to gather?
- work-study office may have number of students employed .
- number of students on co-op.
- number of undergrad TAs
