Noon tech talk on copyright law set May 2

4:10 p.m., April 26, 2007--“Strategies for Success with Media in a Copyrighted World,” will be the featured topic at the final spring semester program of the “Let Us PRESENT” educational technology series, from 12:20-1:10 p.m., Wednesday, May 2, in 010 Smith Hall.

Led by Meghann Matwichuk, senior assistant librarian in the Instructional Media Collection Department at UD's Morris Library, the session will illustrate how teachers can operate successfully in a copyrighted world.

The emphasis of the session will be on what teachers can do to take advantage of the free resources and licensed media at UD. Although many presentation materials have restricted uses, there is a wealth of materials that can be tapped freely and legally.

The session also will feature recent developments in copyright law that permit faculty to have greater flexibility when using media for instruction. Online resources from the library's Instructional Media Collection Department and the Internet will be featured.

Sponsored by IT-User Services' PRESENT, the educational technology series “Let Us PRESENT” focuses on new ways of using existing tools and introducing UD faculty to new technologies that can enhance learning in their classrooms.

The free technology sessions, held the first Wednesday of each month during the fall and spring semesters, include light lunches of salads and beverages.

Space is limited and registration is required for each session. To register, interested faculty members should go to [www.udel.edu/present/news/topics/letuspresent.html] and follow the online menu prompts.
