New Media - January '08

Is It Illegal? Maybe...

Catalyst Spark Session

Podcasting, New Media, and the Law
Thursday, January 31, 2008
3:00 - 4:30 p.m.
The Walker-Ames Room, Kane 225

As podcasting becomes more and more popular in the classroom, educators may be bound by additional sets of rules and regulations. Join Colette Vogele, co-author of the Podcasting Legal Guide: Rules for the Revolution and author of the legal issues chapter of The Business Podcasting Book: Launching, Marketing, and Measuring Your Podcast, for a discussion on copyright issues. Vogele's expertise in new media copyright law will be of interest to instructors and others who make classroom audio and video recordings available to students on the Web.

A question and answer session will follow the main presentation. You may also send questions anonymously before the presentation. A podcast will be available after the session.
