Welcome
eCoursePacket.com is a simple online system that lets
instructors post assignments, readings, lectures, cases, audio files, video files and other documents for their students.
All materials that require copyright clearance are cleared by the copyright department
of eCoursePacket.com.
There is no fee for the instructor or the institution
and the students only pay a minimal fee for access to printable readings and
copyrighted materials.
- All documents without copyright of 10 pages or less are free to the students for access to a readable, printable file.
- Documents above 10 pages with no copyright cost the students $.99 for access to a readable, printable file.
- Copyrighted documents cost the students $.99 plus the cost of the copyright for access to a readable, printable file. The copyright cost is determined by the owner of the copyright such as the publisher or author. There is usually a delay of 2-5 days for this copyright clearance once the file has been uploaded.
Additionally, the eCoursePacket.com system offers free services such as an
updateable course calendar, online assignment submission and tracking of
student access to course materials. The eCoursePacket.com
platform is
independent and can be used by an instructor at any educational or commercial
institution without up-front costs, setup time or usage of institutional
servers.
The eCoursePacket.com website not only offers a
convenient service but also helps to protect the instructor, students and
the associated institution from charges of copyright infringement by
publishers and authors. Such complaints that were previously native to only
printed materials have recently begun to by filed against users of
electronic services such as Blackboard, as well as e-reserves.
