Open Courses: Who has access to a course? What kinds of resources can we use? Who owns the course? 19. Students in a MOOC may be from anywhere on the planet and be almost any age.

Does the University retain ownership of the content in a Coursera course? The content in our MOOCs is governed by the same rules of ownership as apply to our on-campus or traditional online courses, i.e., unless otherwise agreed to by the instructor, intellectual property rights to any course content created by the instructor independently and at the instructors initiative, rest with the instructor. Where the course support provided by the University is over and above the University resources usually and customarily provided, as will likely be the case with most MOOCs, course content created by the instructor shall be owned by the instructor and licensed to the University. See The General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, Article III, particularly Section 4(b) at http://www.bot.uillinois.edu/general-rules. 27.

Student research and critical thinking skills are not so simply accomplished in this environment (Cantrell, 2013). Cantrells study demonstrates need for embedded librarianship. 42. one can readily see overlap between the MOOCs opportunity to provide global learning environments and the kindred opportunity for librarians to investigate and incorporate metaliteracies into the MOOC curriculum in collaboration with MOOC faculty (Cantrell, 2013). 43. Of course this puts the responsibility for information gathering, the validation of resources, and the learning process in the hands of learners themselves, and one should question if all adult learners are capable of taking on this responsibility (2012, Kop et al.). 44. It may be that the great age of libraries is waning, but I am here to tell you that the great age of librarians is just beginning. Its up to you to decide if you want to be a part of it. ~T.
