Building an Online Copyright Module: A Case Study in Collaborative Learning

Collaboration and the Academic Library: Internal and External, Local and Regional, National and International
Journal · pp. 97-104
Abstract

This case study describes the collaborative development of an online copyright learning resource at Monash University. The Copyright Module (CM) is a library initiated online educational resource for academics and students. It provides scenario-based copyright information and self-assessment activities for teaching and research. Now at its second stage, the project has engaged stakeholders and collaborators from groups within the Library and beyond. It is an example of close collaboration leading to skills transfer, which has occurred through a process of cognitive apprenticeship, an authentic learning approach, and development research methodology. The formative evaluation process emphasises the learning aspect of the collaboration, making the project innovatively different from traditional learning resource development. The CM has fostered stronger departmental partnerships and the elevation of the profile of the Library within the University. © 2018 Megan Deacon Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
