Create 3.1.2 – Fair Use and the TEACH Act Quest


How does an understanding of Fair Use affect one’s role as an online instructor?
Understanding "Fair Use" is an important part of making sure you are not breaking the law when you use other people's work.  The four factors to help ascertain whether or not copyright is at issue are beneficial to assist the educator in making the right decision regarding whether or not to obtain permission.  

How do Fair Use and the TEACH Act correlate to the delivery of reliable content?

Both the Fair Use and TEACH Act give educators the opportunity to utilize information that might otherwise require permission and additional time and cost in order to get approval before utilization could take place.  The TEACH act gives educators more leeway in using information under the condition that it is used for educational purposes.
