Assignment of Copyright
1.
      It is the policy of the Asian Society of Open and Distance Education (ASODE) to acquire copyright in all the material published in the Asian Journal of Distance Education (AsianJDE). Assignment assures that requests for permission to reproduce your article in printed or electronic media are handled systematically and in accordance with a general policy which is aware of the market and any relevant changes in international copyright legislation, and ensures the widest possible dissemination of the Journal, while protecting against possible infringement of the rights of both the author and the publisher.
2.
      The author retains his or her moral rights in the article including the right to be identified as the author.
3.
      Despite assigning copyright, the author retains the right to re-use the material in future collections of his or her own work without fee. Acknowledgements of prior publication in the Journal and of the copyright-holder are the only requirement in such cases.
4.
      The author may make photocopies of, or distribute via electronic mail or fax, his or her own work for the author�s own teaching and research purposes provided (a) that such copies are not resold and (b) that reference to the original source of publication and the name of the copyright holder is clearly stated in any copies made of the article.
5.
      The author�s consent will be sought before granting permission to any third party (other than ASODE) to re-typeset and reprint material in commercially published edited volumes (which is assumed to have been given if we have not heard from him or her within thirty days of writing to the last known address).
6.
      Should the copyright be held by someone other than the author, for example the author�s employer, then ASODE as the Publishers require non-exclusive permission to administer requests from third parties. Such requests will be handled in accordance with Note 5 above, and all correspondence will be conducted with the author, who is presumed to be authorised by the copyright owner to deal with such questions on the owner�s behalf.
