Non-Digital Scenario
5
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 5 SCENARIO: TEXT BOOKS Author writes a book Publisher publishes it Publisher sells book to wholesaler Instructor selects book for course Wholesaler sells to College Bookstore Bookstore sells to Students
6
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 6 Role Playing Scenario Duration - 40 minutes total Assign Roles – Author, Publisher, Wholesaler, Retailer, Instructor, Student, Book Step through the life cycle – at each step: Market model, rights management expectations, law How are rights are defined, distributed, acquired, enforced and tracked? Identify the technology used to support rights processes
7
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 7 SCENARIO: Rights Perspective © defined when book is published Publisher to Wholesaler to Bookstore to Student: Rights distributed / acquired in exchange for money The physical book Contains and renders content Is a token of exchange Helps enforce rights via copy protection & tracking Rights are Governed by law, agreements & professional ethics (e.g. attribution Supported by trusted B2B & B2C relationships

Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 9 What Changes in the Digital World? Separation of content and rendering Digital files contain content Players render content A book does both Replication and distribution Replication is (nearly) perfect Distribution is (nearly) free Books are hard to replicate and require physical distribution
10
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 10 What Changes in the Digital World? Tracking and control How do you uniquely label a digital copy? How many digital copies have been distributed? Books can be physically ‘stacked and tracked’ The nature of distribution Services are unbundled (and less familiar) There are few barriers to participation in digital distribution Who do you trust?
11
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 11 Therefore … A move from organizational to technological methods of rights management In the ‘perfect’ digital world: Authors define rights and licenses when they create the content Rights are expressed in a standardized form Distribution, repository and rendering technology Recognizes Interprets Enforces Redistributes But … we are at the beginning of the road
12
Digital Rights Requirements in Academia
13
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 13 Protect … or Share? Protection is not the only goal The commercial licensing of inviolable content directly to a consumer is only one model For education and research, digital rights must support sharing and reuse DRM as an enabler, not just a controlling technology Difficulty of accessing rights is a barrier to reuse * *NSDL Content Reusability project – www.reusablelearning.orgwww.reusablelearning.org
14
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 14 Policy vs. Enforcement * Digital Policy Management Identify and describe rights Set business rules Organize rights to enable content distribution Digital Policy Enforcement Ensuring that digital rights are respected Not punitive, based on mutual benefit Two different, but interrelated activities * From a presentation by Chris Barlas of Rightscom at the EdMedia 2004 world conference in Lugano, Switzerland
15
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 15 Tracking and Attribution Goals of academic authors Share IP as widely as possible Receive proper attribution Repositories and providers want to track usage Evaluation of the value of content Determining cost per use Reporting usage for funding and recognition
16
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 16 Persistence and Standards Rights must persist in a distributed network IT can provide control within the organizational firewall … but … Content in academia must freely cross technological and organizational boundaries Rights expressions must ‘persist’ so they are available wherever and whenever content is used. Standards are needed For expressing, transmitting, interpreting and enforcing However, we are not going to enthrall you today with our vast knowledge of the details of evolving standards Man turns to stone listening to standards presentation * * Permission to use requested from Williams-Exeter Programme at Oxford - www.williams.edu/ dean/oxford/oxford.htmwww.williams.edu/ dean/oxford/oxford.htm
17
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 17 Overarching Issues DRM = Management of Rights by Digital Means Rights Management depends on models of IP Control(individual – organizational – public) Rewards (fame – fortune – fulfillment) Constraints (policy – legal – technological) Content(form – function – properties) Relationships (trust – communication – economic) In the digital world Content has changed Relationships have changed Standards are in their infancy Functionality is clumsy
18
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 18 Definitions Attribute Assign credit to a creator of an original work when the work is referenced, copied, distributed or performed. Authenticate Establish the identity of an individual. Authorize Establish what an individual is permitted to do. Protect Protect a work from unauthorized use.
19
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 19 Definitions Copyright Rights granted to an original work under applicable law. License An explicit collection of rights pertaining to a resource.
20
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 20 Definitions Digital Rights Management The process of defining, tracking and enforcing permissions and conditions through electronic means. Persistent Rights Associating rights and restrictions with a work in a way that persists as the work moves through a network and is used by different applications, platforms and people.

Exercise: Digital Scenario
39
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 39 Checklist for applying the model Environmental factors that affect rights management: Market models; The legal and policy context; Important actors (organizations and people) and roles; Expectations for the management of rights Content lifecycle(s) in the scenario. Where and how should rights be Defined; Acquired and distributed; Enforced Where and how usage should be tracked. What services are required to support rights management processes? What services are provided by existing technology? Identify what functionality gaps need to be filled and what approaches are realistic
40
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 40 SCENARIO: Learning Object Repository* State Resource Center Develops a piece of content themselves (adaptable content) Gets a piece of content from PBS Digital Repository Reviews the content, generates metadata descriptions, catalogs University / School District Library Identifies useful repository resources Incorporates into their catalog / teacher portal Teachers Discover and use content Modify content Deliver to Students via learning management environment * Based on scenarios from U.S. Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC)U.S. Eisenhower National Clearinghouse
41
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 41 Scenario Analysis Purpose: Explore the requirements for individuals, technology and organizations to support a comprehensive distributed digital rights ecosystem. Examine rights management issues and requirements within the context of the repository scenario. Process: Assign roles – Authors, state resource center, digital repository, school district library, teacher, content Step through the simulation Flow from the creation of the content all the way to its eventual use by a student Identify rights management requirements and processes at each step
42
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 42 Environment / Requirements The repository is a distributor Rights are determined by a range of rights holders, not the repository. Rights management issues include Viewing Modification Distribution Attribution Tracking Catalog records are also intellectual property. Repository wants attribution Repository wants to maintain quality branding
43
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 43 Content Life Cycle and Rights Life Cycle Content authored by a range of sources Repository finds content or has it submitted to them Repository categorizes, evaluates and describes content and creates catalog records Users search repository to find content for a range of uses Rights Defined by authors when content is created Repository defines rights for catalog records themselves Repository may need to access rights through a number of layers in between them and the author Need to interpret, display and distribute rights as part of catalog in a consistent way
44
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 44 Usage Tracking and Services Needed Usage Tracking Repository wants to track and report usage of assets back to the source, and to funding agencies Services Required Rights expression for consistent display and interpretation Persistent unique identifiers to avoid redundant entries, and for ongoing maintenance Usage tracking service, including the tracking of the reuse of catalog records by other repositories
45
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 45 Services Provided and Gaps Services Provided None of those described are yet available Gaps Standards and technology are emerging for: Digital rights expression language Persistent unique identifiers / registries Nothing on the horizon for usage tracking services
46
Other Digital Scenarios
47
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 47 SCENARIO 1: Commercial “E-Packs” Textbook publisher sells “e- packs” (or “course packs”). E-packs are loaded directly into a Course Management System*. Students access content through the Course Management System. * Same as “Virtual Learning Environment” or “Learning Management System”
48
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 48 Environment / Requirements Remuneration for publisher. Attribution for author. Local copies for students. School required to control access per class or section or per individually purchased license. Publisher expects access to be restricted
49
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 49 Content Life Cycle and Rights A simple linear life cycle Content enters ecosystem from a controlled source (publisher) Distributed via course management system Used by student Rights Defined through law and contract Trusted partners (publisher, bookstore, IT) Enforced by CMS restricting access to registered students Content could require students to have a license code
50
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 50 Usage Tracking and Services Needed Usage Tracking At the CMS when content is used, or At bookstore when license and textbook sold Services Required Copy protection / encryption Authentication and authorization Financial services (fees for licenses) Usage tracking and reporting
51
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 51 Services Provided and Gaps Services Provided CMS or IT env’t provides authentication and authorization Financial and usage tracking available via bookstore Gaps CMS cannot support entry of license code for content Copy protection not in student computing env’t No persistence of rights outside of CMS
52
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 52 SCENARIO 2: Sharing a Test Bank* A professor creates a bank of interactive test questions. The funding comes from a grant with no intellectual property strings attached. * Contributed by Gerd Kortemeyer, Director, Michigan State University Laboratory for Instructional Technology in Education
53
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 53 Environment / Requirements Use is free for educational purposes Commercial use requires permission Source code may be installed with permission and proper safeguards Professor wants attribution and record of all uses Does not want students to access questions and answers outside of a course Instructors want scores reported to Course Management Systems
54
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 54 Content Life Cycle and Rights Distributed Network life cycle Prof creates question bank in personal env’t Distributes via her web site and loads to university library repository Faculty load content to other school’s CMS Some faculty want to make changes Rights Partners not known in advance Access is governed by roles (student and faculty) Modification not allowed without permission Copy / print enforcement needed to prevent students
55
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 55 Usage Tracking and Services Needed Usage Tracking Prof wants usage and question results reported Services Required Copy protection / encryption Authentication and role-based authorization (prof’s web site, library repository and all CMS systems) Expression of rights so faculty understand Usage tracking and reporting
56
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 56 Services Provided and Gaps Services Provided Authentication and authorization part of library repository and CMS environments Shibboleth can support cross-institution Downloads can be tracked Some file formats can be copy protected Gaps Prof’s web site not secure Downloading faculty could grant access to students Depending on format, no copy protection External CMS won’t report usage to prof No standard rights expression language
57
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 57 SCENARIO 3 –TEACH Act* A History professor wishes to make a portion of a copyrighted film available to students online. The professor's institution owns a copy of the film on videotape * US Copyright Law Exemption: Technology, Education And Copyright Harmonization ACT
58
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 58 Environment / Requirements Teach Act Requirements College must be accredited. College must obtain a digitized copy if possible. (If not, then may digitize film.) Copyright policy must be in place; faculty and appropriate staff must be educated. Use must be under “instructor supervision.” Copyright notice must be displayed. Access must be restricted to class members and for a reasonable time period. Students must be technologically prevented from redistributing or retaining copies past deadline.
59
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 59 Content Life Cycle and Rights Life Cycle Prof purchases as a consumer Loaded to server Viewed by students enrolled in course Rights Rights defined by PBS at time of production and sale TEACH act grants restricted usage and distribution rights Students acquire rights to view when then enroll in class Enforcement require to prevent student copying, and to stop access when class is over
60
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 60 Usage Tracking and Services Needed Usage Tracking CC not required to track usage Prof may want to track for pedagogical purposes Services Required Authentication and authorization Content copy protection / encryption Restrict student access to time enrolled in class
61
Eduworks Corporation August 3, 2004MERLOT Conference: DRM in the AcademyPage 61 Services Provided and Gaps Services Provided CMS provides authentication and authorization CMS restricts access to enrolled students while class is on Media servers can prevent copying Gaps Ability to have rights associated directly with content, rather than having to program CMS every time a course is held.
