If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters. (Alan K. Simpson)

 

Introducing Brenda

3 minutes

Host Kevin Patton introduces guest Brenda Ulrich.

Textbooks to Slides: IP Attorney Brenda Ulrich on Legal Image Use in Anatomy & Physiology | TAPP 150

 

You Need a License

22.5 minutes

In this discussion, Kevin and Brenda address common questions about using textbook images in teaching, focusing on the legalities and fair use of copyrighted materials. Brenda explains that when using images from textbooks, the license agreement with the publisher governs permissible usage. She emphasizes the importance of reviewing license agreements carefully, even for optional or non-adopted materials. Additionally, Brenda highlights the distinction between classroom use and broader sharing, such as online, and advises seeking permissions or using resources like libraries to ensure proper licensing.

 

Staying Up To Date

1 minute

Taking a brief break, Kevin reminds listeners about his occasionally regular Substack newsletter, The A&P Professor Science & Education Updates.

 

Put Yourself in Their Shoes

14.5 minutes

In this conversation, Kevin raises a scenario about reusing images from a previously adopted textbook in his new course materials. Brenda explains that continuing to use such content after switching textbooks would exceed the original license's scope, making it unethical and illegal. She advises always seeking permission from the publisher, not the author, for such uses. Brenda also highlights potential legal consequences of copyright infringement, including fines and lawsuits, stressing the importance of being ethical and avoiding copyright violations.

 

Do You Write?

2 minutes

Briefly stepping away from the conversation, Kevin reminds listeners about the advantages of membership in the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA). Any kind of academic writer, whether textbooks, manuals, lab exercises, dissertations, journal or other articles, reports, or grants, benefit from the resources and networking TAA offers. Listen for a special deal for new members!

 

I Need a Handout (and a Sandwich)

16.5 minutes

In this conversation, Kevin asks Brenda if creating a handout for students automatically gives him copyright protection. Brenda confirms that any work in a tangible form is copyrighted, whether registered or not. She advises adding a copyright notice and registering valuable works to protect against unauthorized use. They discuss the risks of copyright infringement, including potential legal consequences, and highlight the benefits of using licenses like Creative Commons for sharing work. Brenda also clarifies that reproducing lab exercises without permission is illegal, even if it's common practice in underfunded schools.

 

Finding Media

1.5 minutes

Yep, another short break. This time, Kevin reminds listeners that The A&P Professor website lists places to find free and legal media to use in teaching anatomy & physiology.

 

Can I Put My PowerPoint on YouTube?

10.5 minutes

In this segment, Kevin asks if it's permissible to upload PowerPoint presentations with textbook images onto public platforms like YouTube or SlideShare. Brenda explains that such usage would likely exceed the scope of permissions granted for classroom use, and extra permission would be required. She also clarifies that even if the material is uploaded to a closed platform, such as an LMS like Canvas or Blackboard, permission is still typically needed as it extends beyond classroom teaching. They discuss fair use, emphasizing that transformative use, such as critical analysis, may qualify as fair use, but general teaching does not.

Reflection is an essential part of learning. Debriefing after any experience is key to personal and professional growth. (Sharon Salzberg))

 

Debrief: Topics, Stats, Reflections

20.5 minutes

This segment begins our debriefing process by reflecting on the audience size (which a nearly impossible to measure), and quickly reviewing who we talked to and what we talked about over the last season. It turns out that many important and useful topics came up this season, including two episodes that sort of summarize all I've learned about teaching A&P over my decades-long career. And then there's that one weird episode that I snuck in at the beginning of the year, as the entry of AI into teaching and learning was suddenly on everyone's mind—when I'd intended to be doing last year's debriefing instead .

Anatomy of Trust: Promoting Integrity in A&P Education | Winter Shorts | TAPP 146


Episode 146 of The A&P Professor podcast is one of our winter shorts, where I replay interesting segments from previous episodes. In this one, we discuss the importance of academic integrity in the Anatomy & Physiology course. We emphasize the need to incorporate discussions about integrity in the syllabus and course materials and share real-life examples of violations in the healthcare field. We highlight how dishonesty can have serious consequences and discuss strategies for prevention, such as using multiple test versions and unique topics for papers/projects. Providing examples of acceptable practices and discouraging unethical behavior foster a culture of integrity. We invite listeners to contribute their own strategies for promoting academic integrity.

Modeling Professional Integrity

9.5 minutes

Greg Crowther, whose song was featured in episode 25, calls in with an important point about modeling professional integrity for students: we should always cite the work of others. Yikes, look at the trouble that MIT and other elite universities are having right now! Whether we are using material legally is a separate issue. If we tell students they are plagiarizing if they don’t cite others’ works, then we are hypocrites if we don’t model that behavior ourselves. This segment was first heard in Episode 26.

Kevin mentions some other benefits of consistently citing the work we use in our courses.

Dissecting the Kenhub Atlas: Insights from Editor Mike Pascoe | TAPP 144


Mike Pascoe joins host Kevin Patton in Episode 144 to chat about Mike's experience in editing the new Kenhub Atlas of Human Anatomy. We go behind the scenes to see how this new kind of anatomy atlas was developed. Let's see how those decisions get made and how the learning perspective gets incorporated into anatomy manuals. And we explore diverse representation in anatomy images and why we won't find any eponyms in this atlas. We also have a brief remembrance of our friend David Allard.
