◎ Recommended Standard

Expectations

1. If you use materials neither provided by the course's textbook publisher, nor created by you, you should cite the materials.
2. If you would like to use articles or material published on the Internet, link to them instead of saving local copies in your course. Many sites provide static/permanent URLs for such purposes.
3. If you want to make journal articles available to your students—even those that you have authored—link to the articles via the publisher's website, or through your institutions database subscription system (e.g. through a proxy server). Having local copies in your course can be a violation of copyright.
4. If you create your own materials (animations, diagrams, etc.), be sure to cite them accordingly, so students know not to look elsewhere for the item (e.g. their textbooks). This is also important when sharing materials with other instructors, so that they will know to obtain your permission before using such materials.
5. If you choose to use supplemental material from the publisher, also make sure to cite it as well, so the student can find the material.
6. If you use an ePack or any supplemental materials from a publisher, a simple blanket statement to this fact is sufficient to satisfy this review standard.
7. If you use student work as an example, be sure to obtain the student’s permission to do so.
