Development and are organized in collaboration with faculty and staff
from the Center for Educational Development and Research in the School
of Medicine, the Departments of History, Humanities Computing, the
Office of Academic Computing, Social Sciences Computing, and the UCLA
Libraries.

| Now that faculty using WebCT, ClassWeb
and Virtual Office Hours are augmenting courses with material posted
to the Web, more and more faculty are discovering that using the web
in instruction has forced them to rethink their curricula, at times
altering the way they teach. Are these changes positive? What
problems have faculty encountered using the Web? |

instruction impose an extra burden on faculty? How much labor
does it take to run a website and teach in class? Are
there strategies for managing the workload? |

| Who owns course materials
posted on a website? What is the University's policy on fair use and
intellectual property? When is using someone else's work "fair use"
and when is it copyright infringement? Where can faculty go for
advice and assistance? Panel members will review the status of policy
and practice and discuss how they are working through these issues in
teaching and supporting courses. |

The California Digital
Library will bring a range of new digital materials into the hands of
scholars. Not only text, but graphics, video, and sound will be
catalogued and made available to scholars. But how will this digital
library function, and how will it impact how teaching and research
are done? Who will have access to it? And who will decide what should
or should not be included? This session will provide information
about how the California Digital Library was planned and is being
implemented and will provide an opportunity for UCLA scholars to
discuss the possibilities and implications.

One year ago the College
launched the Instructional Enhancement Initiative. Almost overnight
faculty, staff, and students were confronted with new computing labs,
new web-based course materials, and new instructional technology
support services. What was the overall impact on instruction? What
proved easy, and what difficult? What were the problems, and what the
benefits? And what new opportunities, or challenges, lie ahead next
year?
