[LM_NET] Publishing student work online

[Leslie Poston <leslie.poston@KISKI.ORG>]

I am at a 9-12 independent boarding school and I've been asked to check into
the accepted practices involving publishing student work on school websites
or wikis. Are there copyright issues that we should be aware of? Would you
advise getting permission from students and/or parents? Is there a legal
difference in displaying student work on a school wiki or website as opposed
to a student newspaper or classroom bulletin board? Who owns the work?

 

Any advice or experience you can lend will be appreciated.
