Online Media Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines How teachers and students can be held accountable to properly use and create online media.

What is Copyright? O A form of protection for the authors of “original works.” O Published and unpublished works O Work examples: O Literary O Dramatic O Musical

What is Fair Use? O The right to reproduce or to authorize others to reproduce work. O Four factors to consider: O The purpose and character of your use O The nature of the copyrighted work O The amount and substantiality of the portion taken O The effect of the use upon the potential market

How Does Copyright and Fair Use Apply to Teachers?

What Type of Media Can I Use? O Videotapes O DVDs O Multimedia Encyclopedias O Quick Time Movies O Video Clips from the Internet O Pictures O Music

What’s the Catch? O Teachers and students may use portions of lawfully acquired copyright works in their multimedia project. O Video clips must be contained to 10 percent or three minutes (which ever is less). O The materials must be legitimately acquired (a legal copy). O You must give proper attribution (credit) to the copyright holder.

How Do I Give Attribution? O Attribution is a thorough “works cited” section of a document or project. O Must be specific. O Bibme.org

How Do I Remember All This? Cory Watilo (2011) created a mnemonic to remember copyright and fair use guidelines: O Homegrown O Public Domain O Creative Commons O Fair Use

Homegrown O Your own work O You own the copyright to “homegrown” work O Examples: O Photographs O Home videos

Public Domain O Shared by everyone O WikiPedia O Can be used for commercial or non- commercial purposes O Use and re-use is unrestricted

Creative Commons O Provides free licenses to anyone publishing media O Are shared by copyright holders for sharing and use under certain terms O Must comply to the stated Creative Commons terms O Examples: O Images O Audio files O Videos

Fair Use

Scenario #1 O A teacher wishes to show a copyrighted motion picture to her class for instructional purposes. Is the teacher protected under the Fair Use Guidelines? O Yes, since it is for classroom instruction and no admission fee is charged.

Scenario #2 O A student prepares and gives a presentation that displays photographs. Permission was not obtained to use the photographs. Is the student protected under the Fair Use Guidelines? O Yes. Teachers and students may perform and display their own educational projects that contain copyrighted materials for instruction.

Scenario #3 O A teacher would like to take digital photographs of paintings and share them with her class. Is the teacher protected under the Fair Use Guidelines? O Yes. Photographic reproductions are generally lower-quality and would not likely compete in the same market as the original.
