[Eril-l] Outside reviewers seeking access to licensed content

[Hinchliffe, Lisa W]

Maybe QM certification would be treated differently but I recollect that whenever I have done accreditation reviews (institutional - for two regionals - and ALA) and been given access to online courseware in order to review the quality it included access to the course materials. There is of course an ethical guideline about how that access is to be used - which is for the purposes of review and nothing more! Lisa

Subject: [Eril-l] Outside reviewers seeking access to licensed content

Hi Everyone,

Please excuse cross-posting as we are trying to hear from many about this question.  Here goes….

Many of our faculty are working with our campus faculty resource center on Quality Matters certification for their online courses.  Faculty can choose whether they would like their course internally or externally reviewed.

For courses externally reviewed, we have been asked to provide full access to all embedded content in the courses for external reviewers.  In particular, they asked for access to Kanopy so that they could review how the streaming media worked within the course etc…

I found this request to be a bit troubling on several levels:


1.       These individuals may not be covered as valid “users” within license agreements

2.       Kanopy is a PDA model and providing access could mean that external reviewers are triggering purchase/license of a film

3.       Providing access through EZProxy to one resource would provide access to all resources

So, my questions:


1.       Has anyone ever been asked to provide this type of access for external reviewers?

2.       If yes, how did you provide access.

3.       What are your thoughts in general about this type of request?

Thanks so very much for any insight anyone can provide.

Best,
Katie
