Course Content

• Web pages, PDF, Small Handouts and Books
• Extensive use of recorded materials available for download

Copyright Concerns

• Minor
• Some of the images contained in the course packs will be problematic, but they are almost certainly replaceable.

Privacy Concerns

• Possibly Major.
• Many of the course material are real, identifiable people telling their stories.

Level of Editing Needed

• Moderate
• Privacy concerns will need to be actively addressed.
• Some images will need to be replaced.
• Inserting license/disclaimer page in the documents and checking the citation/reading list for valid URLs and/or URLs to infringing content, not much.

Level of Publishing Needed

• Moderate
• The Professors have a very sophisticated teaching method, containing a lot of media. They want to ensure that they produce a high quality material that will possess a good deal of educational credibility.
• There is another year of class materials that will need to be prepared as well.

dScribe Method Recommendation

• dScribes should not be used. Staff should work with the Professors and the Scholarly Publishing Office.

Next Steps / Notes

• Bobby and Piet will meet and discuss a concrete slate of options to offer the professors.
• Bobby will be in contact with Maria Bonn to gain information about the publishing possibilities.
• An assistant on the program contacted Piet about getting video content onto U-M's YouTube channel. Piet contacted Brett Ashley and John Pariseau to figure out who is in charge of that channel now.
• Long term issues regarding acceptance of open materials by tenure committees keep coming up.
