- As distance education continues to grow at a rapid rate, two legal areas that affect both course/program content and instructors are at the top of many of our agendas - Copyright and Fair Use. In this month's FOCUS article, Lisa Livingston, Director of the Instructional Media Development Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison, discusses where we are today in the ever changing copyright and fair use environment.

Lisa was recently the coordinator of a successful May 6-9 Conference on Intellectual Property and the Digital Environment. The conference was held in Madison, WI at the Monona Terrace Convention Center and attracted participants from K-12, Higher Education and business, as well as attorneys and librarians from across the country.
