INSTRUCTIONAL AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Clause Samples
The INSTRUCTIONAL AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY clause outlines the responsibilities and requirements related to the use, management, and security of technology resources within an educational or organizational setting. It typically covers aspects such as acceptable use of computers, software, networks, and digital content, and may set standards for data privacy, user access, and maintenance of equipment. By establishing clear guidelines for technology use, this clause helps ensure that resources are used appropriately, securely, and in a manner that supports the institution's instructional or operational goals.
INSTRUCTIONAL AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. 30.1 In this collective agreement, Instructional and Information Technology is defined as asynchronous instruction, i.e. where the primary mode of class delivery does not require students and instructors to be present at the same time and in the same place.
30.2 When academic staff members, other than sessional course developers (See Appendix J: Sessional Course Developers), receive project funding or additional compensation from the University specifically to develop a course or complete major revisions of a course designed around the use of Instructional and Information Technology, the University shall have the right to use the resulting intellectual property for a period of five years. The five year period shall commence on the first day of lectures of the first term in which the course is offered. This right shall extend only to University teaching-related use. The University must notify the member(s) in writing, before the member begins to develop or revise the course that it intends to claim this right. If the member is not provided such notification, the University shall not receive the right to use the intellectual property. During the five-year period the University shall consult with the member(s) who developed or revised the course concerning scheduling and further development that might be required. At the end of the five year period, the University and the academic staff member may negotiate a further license or purchase for the continued use of the intellectual property.
30.2.1 If a course is scheduled to be delivered during the period that the University has the right to use the intellectual property, the appointment for teaching the course shall normally go to the academic staff member who developed or revised it (or if the course was developed or revised by more than one member, to one of the members who developed or revised it). Should the course developer(s) be unavailable or decline to teach the course, the appointment shall go to another member.
30.2.2 Normally the academic staff member who first developed or revised a course shall be the one to determine whether it requires any further revision and to undertake that work.
30.3 The particular expertise, effort, or amount of time necessary for individual academic staff members to prepare Instructional and Information Technology classes varies from one setting to the next and among individuals. It is recognised that preparing and delivering classes using Instructional and Information Tec...
INSTRUCTIONAL AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. The Faculty Association and the University recognize that Instructional and Information Technology is extensively used in teaching and that the terms and conditions associated with such use are changing rapidly. The parties also recognize that this use has an impact on the duties and workloads of academic staff members. Accordingly, the Faculty Association and the University agree to establish a committee to study and make recommendations concerning the application and use of Instructional and Information Technology in teaching and implications for duties and workloads of members. The committee shall be established and report within six months of signing the Collective Agreement. The structure and mandate of the committee shall be established jointly by the two parties. As part of the mandate, the committee shall survey academic staff members who have taught, or are planning to teach, using Instructional and Information Technology. Academic year July 1 to June 30 Review year January 1 to December 31 Normal date of appointment for academic staff members in faculty, instructor, and laboratory instructor categories. July 1

INSTRUCTIONAL AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. 16.7.1 For purposes of this agreement, Instructional and Information Technology shall be defined as any lecturing, teaching, seminar instruction and library instruction, and laboratory material which is delivered by any electronic media.
16.7.2 The University recognises that the use of Instructional and Information Technology in the performance of the duties of academic staff members can have unforeseeable implications for the fair and equitable distribution of normal workload within faculty and equivalent units. The University is committed to ensure that academic staff members receive appropriate recognition through the performance review process for their contributions when Instructional and Information Technology is used in the performance of duties.
16.7.3 The particular expertise, effort, or amount of time necessary for individual academic staff members to prepare Instructional and Information Technology courses varies from one setting to the next, and among individuals. It is recognised that the preparation and delivery of Instructional and Information Technology courses frequently require skills and efforts beyond those for the preparation of “traditional” courses. For the purposes of determining workload and with the approval of the ▇▇▇▇ or equivalent, preparation and delivery of such courses will be weighted at 1.5 times the credit hours assigned to the course.
16.7.4 Matters of copyright and related issues are governed by Article 29 of this agreement
