The advent of online education - both in the form of so-called "distance learning" and as a supplement to traditional classroom teaching and learning - continues to dramatically alter the face of higher education. The use of new technology, including all of the facets of the Internet, presents a host of legal and practical questions for colleges and universities. The contents of this compendium are organized around five sections. The first includes a variety of resources intended to familiarize the reader with the myriad issues than can arise in effectuating distance education; the second section addresses accreditation and state and federal regulation; the third section focuses on copyright, intellectual property, and other technology issues; the fourth section examines discrimination- and accessibility-related issues for individuals with disabilities; and the final section includes materials relating to student affairs and academic and conduct codes in the context of distance education. The compendium also includes a listing of additional resources and helpful websites. 2007. 962 pp. Also available on CD-ROM.
