Policy & Digital Rights

The documents and articles in this section may be useful in considering national or institutional policies, rules, and practices that could affect the development of learning objects and repositories. Considerable information exists on copyright law and intellectual property rights, as well as a good amount of literature on the implications of technology for traditionally conceived authoring rights. Literature focusing specifically on the policy implications of learning objects and learning object development, however, has proved very hard to find.
