Mary K and Jim,
This is the paragraph that appears as part of the LMS syllabi in 761, 764, 765, 767:
A. USE OF CANDIDATE WORK All programs in New York State undergo periodic reviews by accreditation agencies. For these purposes, samples of candidates’ work are made available to those professionals conducting the review. Candidate anonymity is assured under these circumstances. If you do not wish to have your work made available for these purposes, please let the professor know before the start of the second class. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Walter also has a paragraph that he shared with us after our 2010 Retreat:
The instructor for GSLIS 757 will keep a confidential electronic copy of all students’ submitted work. Samples of student work are often displayed to accreditation agencies and future GSLIS classes. Displaying a sample of a student’s work is done only with the student’s permission. Please select ONE of the following statements: ___YES, I give permission to my instructor to use (and credit me by name) any of my submitted work ___YES, I give permission to my instructor to use (anonymously) any of my submitted work ___NO, I do not give permission to my instructor to use any of my submitted work ________________________________________ Signature Date
Neither mention faculty or graduate advisors but that can be inserted. Walter’s also asks permission for use as a model to other students and there is a place for a signature.
Linda

Dear Mary K., et al
For more than 25 years I have graded my students final project papers and returned the papers to the student (or at least wherever possible). Does this now mean that I need to require my students to provide 2 copies of their final project work to me? yes Does it mean that if I want to maintain this as a learning activity that I must duplicate my comments on both copies? Ideally, yes, but not if you don't want to.
Does it mean that my students need to provide 2 copies of their presentations?
If the presentation is the final product, yes.
Where will all these materials be stored, cataloged, etc. so that they will be available for whatever future viewing is required?
Dr. Marcum is working on this.
Who will have access to these materials?
Faculty, grad advisors, visiting COA people, anyone involved in a dispute beyond the dept. within QC.
How are students being advised that their papers may be available for others to peruse?
Linda Cooper has provided us with a phrase for syllabi. I will ask her to share it.
I am sure that there are more questions that my brief analysis has only touched.
BTW, wouldn't it be more advisable to teach our students how to create an electronic portfolio to document their learning activities and intellectual growth? Could these portfolios be made available to whoever is asking us to retain these materials?
The LMS students do this already and we are working toward everyone doing it.
Thank you for your consideration of my comments.
Sincerely,

Dear Colleagues and students:
I seem to have managed to confuse everyone. I did not mean that professors should keep 2 copies of final papers or exams, only 1, an that one may be in electronic format. Ideally, the retained copy would be a graded copy.
The point is to have retrospective access to original student work back for 2 years.
Dr. Marcum is working on space and security requirements.
