Fair use and electronic course reserves are back in court. A keenly watched copyright case that pitted three academic publishers against Georgia State University has entered the appeals phase, with a flurry of filings and motions this week and more expected soon.

Basic LTI in Ares, Ares Virtual Conference Notes
Following are my notes from today's Basic LTI session of Atlas System's Ares Virtual Conference. We're planning to take advantage of Basic LTI once Blackboard replaces Angel as the primary course management system on campus. Basic LTI between Ares and LCMS+ is also likely assuming LCMS+ adds support for Basic LTI.
: No support for callback messages from Ares to CMS. Such callbacks are supported in LTI v1.1, but Ares never passes data back to CMS. Data flow is one-way from CMS to Ares:
: CMS -> Basic LTI -> Ares Web Service -> Ares Web DLL (pages)
Basic LTI points to "responder", Ares in this case.
: Term "responder" is confusing; it's really a "consumer" of CMS info, but "consumer" is used to refer to the CMS' relationship to Ares? Strange.
Ares config
: LTIConsumers Table
: Ares Web URL field designates the page to display (e.g. for different audiences, CMSs. We might want the Ares response page for BlackBoard to look different from LCMS+).
: LTIFieldMappings
: Map Ares fields to LTI fields. Limited by values sent from CMS.
CMS config
: "Launch URL" = http://ares.host.name/ares/webservice/BasicLTI
: Consumer Key and Secret

Ares Course Reserves Very Short Training Videos
Are you a student assigned to log into your Angel course page to locate your reserve readings? Are you an instructor who assigns course reserves readings? Would you like to navigate easily through your course reserves? Please take a minute or four to view any of seven short training videos (48 seconds to 4 minutes in length) featuring the Ares course reserve system.
For a tour, watch the Ares Overview. Did you know Ares has several sorting features such as tags? The Ares Overview and The Power of Tags shows you how to sort and arrange your readings. Instructors: there are short and sweet videos for creating a course reserve, managing student rosters, assigning proxy access to instructor assistants, re-using that reserve list another time. Please see Adding a Reserve Item, Creating and Cloning Classes, and Instructor Tools Menu.
Want to add an item from one course to another? View Adding Items from a Previous Course. Would you like to know how many times a reserve item is opened and viewed - or, not opened? The "how to" is in Reserve Item Usage. (Yes, students, your instructor can check to see if you've read the assigned readings.)
The Ares course reserve system helps students and instructors create, manage, and access course reserves readings. These short videos will get you started. The video links can be found here.
