Description:
The use of multimedia as a form of instruction is increasing in university classrooms. This paper assesses the awareness and understanding of copyright guidelines for multimedia use in education. Because copyright guidelines affecting multimedia production are both new and rapidly evolving, extensive research findings are unavailable and much uncertainty exists. A questionnaire was sent to 655 International Association for Management Education chairs to evaluate their understanding of these guidelines. Participants returned 126 completed questionnaires. Results seem to indicate a lack of understanding of the new copyright guidelines for multimedia production.
