From the article:
"Policy issues associated with online learning span the breadth of legal concerns in higher education: copyrights and trademarks, Internet law and the media, employment law, accreditation, financial aid, student discipline, accessibility, conflicts of interest and commitment, management of resources and use of the University's name. One could have a very comprehensive "Distance Learning Policy" that covered them all, explaining how each applies in the distance learning context. At the minimalist end of the continuum one might have a policy that addressed only ownership of the intellectual property resulting from the creation of distance learning materials.
This paper addresses fewer than all the issues, but more than just ownership. I use the words, "Comprehensive Copyright Policy" to describe the slice of the issues I will address, in particular to distinguish this set of policy issues from the more commonly understood "Intellectual Property Policy" issues with which most Universities have significant experience. Intellectual property policies usually concern themselves with the ownership and exploitation of patented technologies, though some also address ownership of copyrighted works and educational materials."
You should get good local legal advice when developing or finalising policies and practices, but this article provides a useful list of issues that will get you started.
