CLIP has successfully institutionalized a research program that offers opportunities for students and post-graduate fellows to engage in scholarly and policy-focused publishable work in close collaboration with faculty and CLIP staff. Ongoing Research ProjectsPrivacy and Children's Educational RecordsAmong state departments of education there has been a growing trend to establish statewide longitudinal databases of all K-12 children within a state in order to track progress and change over time. This trend is accompanied by a trend to create uniform data collection systems so that each state’s student data systems are interoperable with one another. In January 2008, CLIP began a research project to examine the privacy concerns implicated by these trends. Additional information about the project is available here.Bloggers and Intellectual PropertyIn September 2009, a team of student research fellows began a project to review intellectual property claims asserted against bloggers. From this review, we hope to identify the types of activities and fact patterns that typically raise legal concerns and result in legal action. This is the first project CLIP is undertaking in support of a long term research goal aimed at identifying IP best practices for bloggers. |
