Your Intellectual Property rights as a faculty member
Consider Creative Commons
The UPEI Faculty Association’s collective agreement with the University, as well as long-standing tenets of academic freedom, protect faculty members’ rights to the instructional content they create themselves, including in the online environment. The Faculty Association is currently preparing a more detailed FAQ for members on IP considerations in the online classroom.
