Harvard recently announced four new edX classes, including a 12-week copyright course from Harvard Law School. The difference between “Copyright” and the rest of the subjects being offered through the open-source technology platform, though? Only 500 students are being given the opportunity to enroll, as opposed to the 100,000 who registered for Harvard’s first free massive open online courses prior to launch. The course is being taught by Intellectual Property Law Professor William Fisher, who’s also the faculty director of the University’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society. When the class commences on January 28th, however, why won’t more students be participating? As the Copyright course description states: Enrollment for the course is limited, in keeping with the belief that high-quality legal education depends, at least in part, upon supervised small-group discussions of difficult issues.
