  Colang 2016 Workshop Syllabus  Workshop Title: Consent, Rights, and Intellectual Property: Navigating Language Documentation, Archiving, and Research   Instructor’s name and email: Susan Smythe Kung skung@austin.utexas.edu Edward Alexander 1edward.alexander@gmail.com  Course materials: All suggested videos and readings are listed below in the daily schedule; see this bibliography for additional resources.   Supplies needed: Laptop or tablet to access online course materials and create final presentation.  Course goals: Introduce concepts of consent, rights and intellectual property in relation to language documentation, archiving, and research.  Student learning objectives:  Upon successful completion of this workshop, students should be able to: • Identify the importance of consent, rights and intellectual property to researchers, documenters, archivists and language origin communities.  • Articulate how their own interaction with language documentation is informed by course concepts.  Instructional methods: Lecture, discussion, group activities, suggested readings. Evaluation: The workshop will be Pass/Fail; full attendance is required for a pass. Students will be evaluated based on (1) their class attendance, participation and engagement, and (2) on a final presentation to be created in a slide show, lecture capture or animation program of their choice (e.g., Power Point, Keynote, Google Slides, Prezi, GoAnimate, etc.). This presentation must include either presenter notes (for slide shows) or voice over (for lecture capture or animation) in order to demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of consent, rights, and intellectual property and how these concepts affect their own current or future engagement with language documentation, revitalization, and/or research.  Disabilities services: “The Office of Disability Services implements the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and insures that UAF students have equal access to the campus and course materials.  The instructor will work with the Office of Disabilities Services (208 WHIT, 474-5655) to provide reasonable accommodation to students with disabilities.”  Preliminary Schedule and Suggested Readings and Videos  Day 1: The User Experience: Rights and Research  Kapsidelis, Katherine and Becca Pad.
