The ability to process complex syntax is a human characteristic. The development of language comprehension and articulation takes place over a certain period of time during childhood. What happens in the brain on a neural biological level during language acquisition is still unclear. The research explained in this video uses methods that detect and monitor brain activity to determine changes and patterns on the scale of milliseconds. This allows to see maturation and to follow connections between different brain areas, helping our understanding of where language develops. ANGELA D. FRIEDERICI illustrates that she and her fellow researchers found a particular fiber track which connects two regions of the brain and is responsible for syntax comprehension. While most animals do not have this fiber track or only a less developed one, the question of language representation can also be expanded as an example of learning processes in the brain in general. The research proves that brain development determines what is possible in terms of learning at the defined moment in life.

Friday, November 7 • 10:30am - 11:15amLet’s Talk: Bringing Many Threads Together to Weave the Scholarly Information Eco-systemThe OSTP directive (2/22/13) to make peer reviewed articles and data resulting from research funded by federal agencies publicly accessible inspired several new initiatives, most notably the SHARE project being developed by university and library groups; and the publishing community-offered CHORUS project. Although these approaches were initially developed independently (and viewed by some as competing), many of those involved have come to see them as potentially complementary. In the months since, there has been considerable conversation among people involved in these and various related initiatives about bringing these together to help make sense of a broad-based information ecosystem.In this informal and interactive session, speakers affiliated with each of these will discuss commonalities, opportunities for collaboration, and the desirability of bringing all stakeholders in the scholarly communication community together to develop systems that can address the common interests of the general public and all those concerned about the advancement of scholarship.

Friday, November 7 • 4:30pm - 5:30pmThe Long Arm of the LawThis is the 4th year of the Charleston Conference's legal update session. We wondered if there would be enough to report (no big supreme court cases this time around), but... with copyright and legal matters, there's always something compelling. Our two legal panelists (one new to Charleston and the other a repeat offender on this panel!) will offer views and insights on topics such as:* The Wolters Kluwer-Aspen Law Connected Casebook program, in which casebooks would come with access to Aspen’s digital platform, offering wonderful digital bells and whistles. However, students would be required to return the print books to Aspen at the end of the term. How do business models such as this relate to copyright law: Do they undermine it? Are they contractual and therefore over-ride the law?* In the 2013 case of White v. West Publishing, two of the world's largest for-profit publishers asserted fair use over ingestion of millions of briefs into their databases, to which they sell full-text access. In February 2013, the court issued a brief notice that it had decided the case in the publishers’ favor, and in July 2014, the district court issued a memorandum explaining that three of four fair use factors weighed in favor of fair use, while the remaining factor was neutral. "For profit re-use" -- how do we understand this case?* In May 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union famously ruled on the “Right to be Forgotten," meaning that "Individuals have the right - under certain conditions - to ask search engines to remove links with personal information about them." Is this good for privacy? Libraries? Are there any parallels in the US?

Our aim is to go beyond the history and the hype (and the excellent stage-setting that was done last year at the Charleston Conference) to talk about real steps in understanding and exploiting distance learning.

Friday, November 7 • 11:30am - 12:15pmPrivacy in the Digital Age: Publishers, Libraries and Higher EducationUniversities and colleges are collecting and analyzing increasing quantities of personal digital data about their faculty, students and staff, while academic publishers and libraries are beginning to track the online behavior of consumers and users of scholarly resources. On the one hand, these activities are essential tools for institutions and organizations as they strive to diversify their workforces and / or student populations, improve educational, student, and library services, and enhance the marketing and discoverability of scholarly resources. On the other hand, the amount of personal digital data that is now being collected raises a number of concerns about the privacy of individuals. What sorts of data are being collected? To whom are those data made available? How are they being used? And how could they be misused? The aims of this session are to identify some of the most pressing privacy issues facing higher education and in particular the scholarly communications ecosystem; and to begin a discussion about how academic institutions, libraries, academic presses, and funders can work together to develop systems, policies and standards that protect individuals' privacy but enable organizations and institutions to collect and analyze personal data so that they can fulfill their missions more effectively.

Saturday, November 8 • 9:45am - 10:45amThe Punishment for Dreamers: Big Data, Retention, and Academic LibrariesThe use of “big data” by institutions of higher education – and academic libraries – to address the complex problems faced by postsecondary education is still truly in its infancy. Dreamers by moonlight are seeking new methods of funding, assessment, and strategic planning. Among the issues that face institutions of higher education, retention is one hot-button element with wide-ranging implications. Where does the academic library fit in with increasing calls for accountability, stretched budgets, and imperatives for student success? How can our evolving libraries demonstrate value in this dynamic new context for higher education?

Thursday, November 6 • 10:20am - 11:10amScience Education Gone Wilde: Creating Science References that WorkScience education suffers from more than a little bit of its own problem with earnestness and triviality. As politicians, education reformers, and social critics point out relentlessly, STEM literacy is crucial to the nation's well-being, not simply as an economic driver but because average citizens must increasingly grapple with the practical and ethical impacts of new science and technologies in their lives. Most conversations about science education and, indeed, most educational science works therefore come wrapped in a mantle of earnest gravitas—which is a shame because it only reinforces the joyless “eat your vegetables, they're good for you” impression with which much of the public regards science and makes students approach their science lessons with dutiful, doomed resignation. This is not a formula for success.
