Many professors regularly use charts, graphs, or other illustrations they've culled from textbooks or other copyrighted works in slide presentations or handouts. Although using those illustrations in a classroom is allowed under fair-use provisions of copyright law, universities must get permission before putting the same materials online where anyone can see them.

Open content licensing may not be a red-hot issue in the foundation sector, but it is emerging as a salient one with consequences in many fields. It is an inherently complex issue. In an attempt to learn more about the licensing practices that are used in the world of private charitable foundations - and specifically to learn the degree to which open content licensing may or may not be appropriate in that sector and why - the Berkman Center and the Hewlett Foundation commissioned the FDR Group, a nonpartisan public opinion research firm, to conduct a qualitative research study.
Blackboard vs. Moodle: North Carolina Community Colleges Assessment - 0 views

-
“The real difference is found in student perception of their teachers’ comfort level with the application. There exists a significant correlation between student survey scores of both Blackboard and Moodle with the perceived comfort level of instructors using either application. Thus, student perceptions of both CMSs were influenced by instructor experience, training, and skills.” The fact that your faculty reviewers are more familiar with your old system than some of the alternatives may bias their evaluations significantly.
-
“Case studies of four exclusively Moodle institutions indicated that while transition to Moodle was challenging, ultimately the case study students and faculty preferred Moodle over Blackboard.”

In 2004 I began asking my students to post their homework on their personal, publicly accessible blogs.
-
By changing their homework assignments from disposable, private conversations between them and me (the way printed or e-mailed assignments work in students’ minds) into public, online statements that became part of a continuing conversation, we realized very real benefits.
-
The result was a teacher’s dream — the students’ writing became a little longer, a little more thoughtful, and a little more representative of their actual intellectual abilities.
