Bill McGeveran, former Berkman Center Fellow and researcher with the Digital Media Project talks about the release of a new white paper, titled “The Digital Learning Challenge: Obstacles to Educational Uses of Content in a Digital Age.”

This foundational white paper reports on a year-long study by The Berkman Center for Internet & Society and funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The paper explores the relationship between copyright law and education. In particular, whether innovative uses of digital technology were hampered by the restrictions of copyright.

To learn more, we’ll hear Amanda Michel of the Berkman Center interview Bill McGeveran.
