ELECTRONIC COURSE MATERIALS. Any electronic course materials created or developed by faculty with the use of substantial University resources shall be considered the property of the Montana University System. This policy applies to electronic course material whether or not it was, is or may be eligible for copyright or patent. However, faculty who develop electronic course material that is considered property of the University shall assist the University to secure and protect a patent or copyright on the material if such protection is sought by the University. The mere communication or preservation of traditional classroom or course material in an electronic medium does not bring that material within the ambit of this policy. Rather, this policy is intended to cover material created for or designed to be used in conjunction with a course, or a part thereof, delivered by means other than personal, face-to-face interaction between the instructor and the student.
