Policy Summary http://www.umuc.edu/policies/researchpolicies/research19000.cfm In order to preserve the university’s mission to “create, preserve, and disseminate knowledge” (UMUC, 2002) the University of Maryland University College (UMUC) has created Policy 190.00 – Intellectual Property. This policy addresses intellectual policy considerations for faculty, students, and the university itself, while making sure that society benefits from the dissemination of the works involved.
In the General Provisions section of this policy, the University outlines the purpose of the policy (outlined above). In addition, it addresses the places the policy will be published. It defines who may and may not enter into agreements on behalf of the

This means that all online course materials are to be considered under the copyright section of the policy as outlined above.
The policy also includes a discussion of student and third-party rights, patent, computer programs and software or business practices and other types of intellectual property, as well as a section on revenue, administration and reporting. While these sections are necessary to creating a whole picture when it comes to intellectual property rights at UMUC, they are not vital to this paper and thus will not be discussed other than to demonstrate the broad scope of the policy.
Distance Course Ownership Strengths
While UMUC based its intellectual property policy on the one developed for the University System of Maryland (USM), UMUC took special care to address “technology mediated instructional materials”. While the USM (2009) has a placeholder which states they may at any time modify the policy to include rules on these types of materials, UMUC actually developed it. UMUC (2002), as a school specializing in distance education, considers these technologically dependent materials core to their mission, thus anything created to be posted online is be considered the same as any other course materials. This allows UMUC to use the same ownership rules for
Prior to the Civil War, higher education for African American students was nearly nonexistent. The small percentage who did receive education, such as Thurgood Marshall, often studied in informal and sometimes aggressive settings. Some were forced to educate themselves completely. Some schools for elementary and secondary training existed, such as the Institute for Colored Youth, a school started in the early 1830’s by a group of Philadelphia Quakers. A college education was also offered to a limited number of scholars at schools like Oberlin College in Ohio and Berea College in Kentucky. Between 1861 and 1870, the American Missionary Association (AMA) founded seven black colleges and 13 normal (teaching) schools. Many of these
Eastern Illinois University is situated in small town Charleston Illinois in the Midwest region of the United States. Eastern Illinois University was originally founded in 1895 as a teacher’s college and had only a 2-year degree for training teachers for the schools of East Central Illinois, it was known as “Eastern Illinois State Normal School.” “Eastern Illinois State Normal School” had its name changed two more times before finally becoming Eastern Illinois University in 1957. Eastern Illinois University held its first classes in 1899 with 18 faculty members and 125 students. Eastern Illinois University chose its mascot the Panther in 1930 after many years of being called the Blue and Gray.
In the lawsuit “Guatemalans vs Johns Hopkins University” over 800 Guatemalans were deliberately infected with sexually transmitted diseases and then treated with penicillin in an experiment to see if this antibiotic would work in treating these diseases. Researchers from John Hopkins School of Medicine infected kids in an orphanage, prisoners and mental health patients without their knowledge with syphilis and gonorrhea. These experiments happened from 1945 to 1656 but were not discovered until 2010. In the article it talked about how the experiment was kept a secret and did not publish any findings on whether the penicillin worked or not, probably because it was unsuccessful. It also talked about how the Guatemalans that were infected and then no follow up treatment was offered nor information on what diseases they were infected with.
Before the enactment of TEACH act, students and the teachers ware less advantaged to the use of copyrighted materials and how they were presented online in distance education. The act tried to end the differences between online education and face-to-face classroom setup, often these differences had detrimental effects to online learning. As stated by Jairath & Mills (2006) the act
The Copyright Designs and Patents Act (1988) are relevant in a teaching environment. The materials I use to teach learners must either be produced by me, or I must ensure that I and or my organisation have permission to use such materials.

DCU should invest their scholarship money in me because it is an investment into the future of technology. Already, the Union leverages several e-commerce technologies, such as online transaction systems and mobile applications, that make previously impossible transactions possible. Allotting me a scholarship would assist my journey to understand the inner workings of such technologies, and further perpetuate the Union’s ability to bank the DCU way. This education will prepare me to improve these technologies in several key respects, all of which align with the three major principles DCU believes in. Anyone who has used commercial software in the past several decades will tell you there is ample room for improvement in the ease of use department.
In 2008, a diverse group of professionals including filmmakers, educators, publishers, and researchers agreed on a set of best practices for media literacy education. This code of best practices says that educators can make copies of digital media; embed copyrighted material into curriculum documents; share, sell, and distribute that material; use copyrighted works to create new material and distribute that work digitally if it is transformative. Once again, these are not laws. They are simply another set of guidelines to help us determine if our use of copyrighted digital material is fair.
The “Significant Use” of UPR resources/support/facilities by faculty is a key factor in the determination of ownership of patentable intellectual property under the terms and conditions of employment of all UPR campus/unit Employees.

Firstly, having intellectual property rights lays good foundation for the software industry. Indeed, the intellectual property rights means having the rights for the creation of his work. For instance, considering an example in the software profession if an individual develops a software code then the individual has the full authority on his creation of the code. Moreover, the individual has the rights for his creation of the software work. Eventually, in the software field if any other individual wants to make use of the code the individual must entreat the approval of the original owner of the software code. Identically, the other individual must cite the work or must refer the original idea of the individual work properly.
Printing articles or chapters online allows students to save time and to prepare for classes more easily. As a consequence, e-reserve has become more popular on college than ever before. However, while printing online, we don’t think about the copyright. Actually, when we borrow reserved articles and copy them outside campuses, it seems that e-reserve doesn't matter on campus in terms of education purpose.
