Does anyone have any good resource material on how to copyright protect an online course? (what is the process, what resources to consult, etc.)

Hi, Whitney -- Thanks for your question! While I will defer to your fellow community members to weigh in with their advice and suggestions, you may want to take a look at the following:

Yes, you can certainly do a copyright registration for your elearning course. It's software just like any other software. I've been in the elearing business for 30 years and some of the biggest copyright violators were teachers and state agencies. Teachers seem to think its ok to rip someone off in the name pedagogy. It's not.

Keep in mind that the "registration" of your copyright doesn't make it more secure, it just gives you more rights when you consider suing an infringer.
