Allectra: Online Copyright-Cleared Course Readings

Abstract

Through a Learning Enhancement Envelope (LEE) grant, the University of Calgary, in collaboration with the University of Alberta and Red Deer College, and in partnership with CanCopy, the Canaidan Copyright Collective, has developed software to provide digital copyright cleared readings to support teaching. Access to readings is limited to students enrolled in courses and statisitcs are kept to report usage to CanCopy and to publishers. This project is the first in Canada to combine digital readings with copyright clearance and authentication at the course level.
