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.
6. Designing an Online CurriculumISSUES DEFINED. 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/
