  • Complying with copyright law is more challenging to academic institutions than ever before.

These newer, faster, and more convenient ways of using and sharing information are prompting educators and students alike to ask a whole new set of copyright questions. To help answer these questions, Academic Technologies has developed the Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance. It addresses difficult copyright questions and provides guidelines and resources to help our faculty, students, and staff ensure compliance campus-wide.
     
  • Online orientation is now available for students who are either considering enrolling in a course that uses the Internet or are already enrolled in such a course. More . . .
     
  • Faculty at Boise State have found some creative and effective ways to use technology in instruction. We've collected a few examples in the Media Showcase.
