Last week I got the chance to take part in a class about Intellectual Property Rights, lectured by Professor Jack Russo, director at ComputerLaw Group LLP, an intellectual property law firm based in Palo Alto, California.
Copyright, was something more common for me since I had to deal with copyright infringements a lot of times during my career as a journalist, but trade secrets, patents or trademarks used to be only words on some of my articles. Well I finally got the chance to update my knowledge around those terms, but also in a modern way. With experience and examples including the fruit company (Apple), for sure you get to learn a lot on how companies and individuals protect their rights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets all around the world, but getting support to this knowledge through Facebook was actually something new.
“Target the students where they are” stated the professor during the class at Universum University College in Prishtina, when he created a Facebook Group, and then invited all of the students there, where he constantly posted different information about IPR, he posted tests using Survey Monkey and engaged the students with questions, posted videos from class lectures, and pictures as well. Now that is something new which you never get the chance to see from a professor at the public University of Prishtina.”Facebook is something really useful, and whenever there is something new posted on the group you get a notice… instead of me asking you to get to a web page or access your e-mail for materials” he continued.
This experience definitely worked out. Besides the experience and knowledge gained, I must say that engaging the students through Facebook can turn out the course into a success and step-up the networking and discussions, even after the class. Just recently there was an article posted about how law classes will go on for creating private Facebook groups, where students will find videos and presentations from classes, and even speak up in class using the Facebook Chat.
While professors around the world try not to ignore where students are and get even closer to them, here professors consider Facebook still as rocket science, and video recording presentations or engaging the students through e-mail is not an option!
