Terry Fisher's spring course, Copyright, will be taught on edX

Alt Text

As part of the edX slate of courses for Spring 2013, Harvard Law School Professor and Berkman Center for Internet & Society Faculty Director William Fisher III will be teaching Copyright, a version of his traditional Copyright course at Harvard Law School. Copyright will explore the law of copyright and the ongoing debates concerning how that law might be reformed. It will also be offered as an experimental course, taking advantage of different combinations and uses of teaching materials, educational technologies, and the edX platform. 500 learners will be selected through an open application process, and supported by Harvard Law School Teaching Fellows in small sections.

Enrollment for the course is limited, in keeping with the belief that high-quality legal education depends, at least in part, upon supervised small-group discussions of difficult issues. Fidelity to that principle requires confining the course to the number of participants that can be supervised effectively by the 21 Teaching Fellows. The limit on the enrollment does not mean, however, that there will not be access to the course materials. On the contrary, all of the readings and recorded lectures used in the course will be made available to the public on Prof. Fisher's personal site, http://tfisher.org.
