Influence of Copyrights over the Relationships in eLearning

Teaching is a concrete realisation of two combined processes: learning and teaching. These processes are supplementary, they create unity and their synergic bonds cannot be broken. Teaching can integrally be observed as meaningful and intentionally organised system or as a concrete realisation of relationships between its basic elements: students and teachers who are gathered around context with clearly defined goal. Relationships are complex and multilevel starting from a human level in relationship student-teacher up to modern frames where these relationships attain virtual characteristics. The common goal – adoption of required knowledge and acquirement of specific skill – corresponds with all three basic elements in different manners. Student and teacher approach to goal within specific context from different points of view but with the same motivation: the fastest possible and the most efficient adoption of contents. Usage of ICT implies new problems in teaching process. The most evident problem is ownership over educational content and consequently influence on relationships between elements that comprise teaching. This paper aims at indicating several, primary legal, but also ethical and moral aspects of teaching, mostly of its form presently familiar as eLearning or mLearning. The question is: does teaching have an owner is not simple because it implies a question of which part of teaching should be owned?
