Issues and challenges to the right to education in the digital age 2016, para. 74
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Currently, most massive open online course providers establish a proprietary claim on material included in their courses, license the access and use of that material to the user and exercise ownership over user-generated content. To fully exercise academic freedom, however, higher education teaching personnel should retain ownership of their course material, including material used in distance and online courses.
