13. The transmission of content must be made "solely for . . . students officially enrolled in the course for which the transmission is made." In addition, the law also requires that the transmission be "for" only these specific students. Thus, it should not be broadcast for other purposes, such as promoting the college or university, generally edifying the public, or sharing the materials with colleagues at other institutions. Educators might address this requirement through technological restrictions on access, as mentioned in the following section. The new law also calls upon the institution to limit the transmission to students enrolled in the particular course "to the extent technologically feasible." Therefore, the institution may need to create a system that permits access only by students registered for that specific class. As a practical matter, the statute may lead educational institutions to implement technological access controls that are linked to enrollment records available from the registrar's office.
