Normally, no royalty, rent or other consideration shall be paid to the employee when that Mediated Courseware is used for instruction at the Institution and such Mediated Courseware shall not be used or modified without the consent of the employee. While the Creator is under Institutional employment, the Mediated Courseware shall not be sold, leased, rented or otherwise used in a manner that competes in a substantial way with the for-credit offering of the employee's own Institution unless that transaction has received the approval of the chief academic officer of the Institution. The Institution shall have a perpetual, non-exclusive royalty-free right to use such courseware for archival research purposes. Should approval be granted to offer the course outside of the Institution, the provisions of section 4b of this policy shall apply.
* b. Institution-directed Mediated Courseware. When the Institution directs in an employment contract the creation of a specific Mediated Courseware, the resulting Mediated Courseware belongs to the Institution and the Institution shall have the right to revise it and decide who will utilize the Mediated Courseware in instruction. The Institution may specifically agree to share revenues, pursuant to the General Patent Policy with the employee(s) receiving a minimum of 30 percent of the net royalties and fees, and control rights with the employee.

Policy is relatively clear w/r/t/ professor's works. However, it doesn't distinguish between traditional works and other works.
W/r/t courseware, policy gives author ownership over individual mediated courseware, but places limitations on owner's use. Also not clear if substantial use of university resources exception applies to courseware.
