  5. 5. Designing an Online CurriculumISSUES DEFINED. SOLUTIONS PRESENT.ISSUETo what extent should the copyright be documented and communicatedwith users? One of the goals of the curriculum plan is for personal use ofthe information by the user. To what extent should the organization pushtheir copyright rights?SOLUTIONFrom experience, our group finds that if too much information isdocumented and shared with the user that he or she will not want to takepart in any training initiative. As a result of this and the idea that theinformation will be internal but for personal use, the copyright symbol andstatement are enough to enforce that the information contained within isowned by XYZ Company to be construed as fair warning for the user totake advantage of the opportunity to use the material for theintended use of personal development.

SOLUTIONS PRESENT.ISSUEWhat actions is the company willing to take in the event someone doesinfringe on their copyright rights?SOLUTIONOf course one option is to sue. This is costly, it takes a considerable amount of time and the law ofcopyright is always moving. The other option is to deal with the issue directly to see if the information canbe returned or if they will cease using the information. As far as the company is concerned with providinginformation within an internal organization or sharing it with the public, consider this option and beselective on what is provided externally knowing that the time and expense of a lawsuit may not beworthwhile.Depending on the size and nature of the company, an alternative way of looking at this is taking advantageof free publicity and awareness. Sometimes it shows favor in the pocketbook!http://asmp.org/tutorials/enforcing-your-rights.html#.VDhzWP58PIUhttp://www.salon.com/2014/05/23/how_disney_learned_to_stop_worrying_and_love_copyright_infringement/
