COPYRIGHT COMPLIANCE

The unlawful reproduction of copyrighted material is a concern for the online academic community, and the unauthorized use of materials is too often overlooked. The temptation to copy all or part of a work without obtaining permission may seem easy and convenient, but it can be a violation of the rights of the author or publisher. Online instructors should obtain proper permission for all copyrighted material. Assistance in understanding these rules can be obtained from this material, or by talking to appropriate personnel. The ICCOC website has a page dedicated to this issue.
