| Since OCULL's last annual retreat, new copyright legislation was introduced into
Parliament which includes provisions for technology enhanced learning. The provisions cover both communicating lessons over the Internet and online delivery of course materials. The bill was met with a storm of protest from educational users and consumer lobby groups, who have labeled it draconian and a threat to the vibrancy of the online environment.
This presentation will provide an overview of the new bill and discuss how it could affect those that work in distance and continuing education. It will workshop potential advocacy strategies for OCULL to consider to ensure that its interests and needs do not go unheard or unmet in this important issue.
