Kyle K. Courtney is the Copyright Advisor and Program Manager at Harvard University, working out of the Office for Scholarly Communication. He works closely with Harvard Library to establish a culture of shared understanding of copyright issues among Harvard staff, faculty, and students. His work at Harvard also includes a role as the copyright and information policy advisor for Harvard’s MOOC, HarvardX. He serves on several advisory committees that deal with libraries and MOOCs, including working with ACRL, ALA, and edX. He runs a copyright law consulting practice for libraries, higher education institutions, non-profit groups, and specialized archives. Before joining Harvard University, Kyle worked at Harvard Law School as the manager of Faculty Research and Scholarship.

Overall, Courtney does a very nice job of breaking down a complicated and new idea and putting it in realistic and achievable terms for those interested in creating, teaching, or supporting a MOOC. Not only does he take the time to fully introduce and provide examples of the different types of courses available, he also gives specific suggestions on what equipment to use. The course examples and discussions are put in realistic and relatable terms so the individual creating the MOOC has a solid basis on which to build his or her own course. With all of the changes happening in legal education, this book is a great tool for librarians to use to come up with different ways to support and educate both the faculty and students in a new type of learning.
