For example, as spelled out in the Agreement, faculty members own the Course Elements. These are the syllabus, lecture notes, discussion questions, topic notes, presentations, screencasts, videos, assignments, grade feedback or images used in the course. See the Full Time Faculty Online Course Agreement (PDF), Affiliated Faculty Online Course Agreement (PDF).
Emerson owns the Course Construct. This refers to the course descriptions, the overarching learning goals, and the organizational template.
Emerson retains the right to archive the course and to allow read-only access to NECHE accreditors and to “Successor Faculty” who are using the Course Construct. Successor Faculty will be required to sign the Online Course Access Acknowledgment (PDF)
