Create 3.1.2 Fair Use and the TEACH Act

How does an understanding of Fair Use affect one’s role as an online instructor?
Fair Use potentially allows online instructors to use already created resources found on the web, by way of the four-factor test, which helps instructors evaluate if it's legal to use certain copyrighted materials.  The factors of the test include the purpose, nature, amount of text, and market effect.




How do Fair Use and the TEACH Act correlate to the delivery of reliable content?
TEACH and Fair Use can work together to protect online instructors from copyright infringement and ensure that delivery of reliable content is protected, when used appropriately. Quality materials and graphics can be used for online instruction, thanks to Fair Use and TEACH.
