      A lot of my data - chats and forum postings have passed beyond my reach after an online course closed. What are some things I can start doing while Institutions are still not willing to change access policies? How much of another's forum posting is legitimate for me to copy to my own space so I have the context?

      One school in Maryland has decided it owns ALL student work; faculty work, as well. In what ways can we make sure this concept does not spread? What is the difference of ownership when state or federal funds are involved? when private funding is primary? Does public funding create the potential for open resources and sharing of personal date in the eyes of the institution; in the yes of others? in the eyes of the creator of the materials? How can we take ownership of our data. In days gone by, another "hard copy" placed in a personal "folder" was the answer. Today, our computer "folders" are no longer personal and may be accessed by companies, government agencies and hackers. Do we really have the rights to our own digital identity and intellectual property in the digital age? If so, what are some of the ways we can protect these elements? Long post with no concrete answers ... thanks for jump starting the thought processes!
