Erin Mishkin, The Digital Natives Project and Gabriel Mugar, Founder, Press Pass TV - "In his well-known article on "digital natives," Marc Prensky writes, 'Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach.' How so? How do we begin to address this issue? What schools/programs are already leading the way in approaching education from a digital natives perspective?"

Scott Lozier, Administrative Coordinator, Office of the Arts -- Harvard University -- Are artists like professors - keepers of knowledge that they have exclusive rights to? Where does distribution end in today's world?

Full Description

Imagine that you have over twenty years of the best historic Jazz Archives in the world: performances, interviews, master classes. You have a program to bring two Jazz masters to your university each year. Your mission is to educate undergrads, the university community and spread jazz to the world. Your hope is to help Jazz thrive all over the world. But no one can access your archives.

Should the university use its resources to support artistic excellence like it supports academic excellence? What are the copyright issues around the arts compared to research or classes? Are artists like professors - keepers of knowledge that they have exclusive rights to? Many artists sign contracts stating that the university can distribute copies in furtherance of the university's educational goals? Where does distribution end in today's world?
