Instructional use gives you an exemption; nonprofit use does not.

Here's how it goes. If you're considering using copyrighted materials for instructional purposes, do it!...provided that: 1. you are in a place dedicated to instruction and the material will stay there (rather than being distributed to a wider audience); 2. you are using a legitimate copy as your source; 3. the service or resource you are using is not available for sale for educational use.

Kellner (1998) proposes that multiple literacies are necessary to meet the challenges of today's society, literacies that include print literacy, visual literacy, aural literacy, media literacy, computer literacy, cultural literacy, social literacy, and ecoliteracy.

Learning through orderly, sequential, verbal-mathematical, left-hemisphere tasks is a pattern seen frequently in education (West, 1997). Those whose thought processes are predominantly in the right-hemisphere where visual-spatial and nonverbal cognition activities rule frequently may have difficulty capitalizing on a learning style that is not compatible with their abilities.

If visual literacy is regarded as a language, then there is a need to know how to communicate using this language, which includes being alert to visual messages and critically reading or viewing images as the language of the messages.

Technology, particularly the graphical user interface of the World Wide Web, requires skills for reading and writing visually in order to derive meaning from what is being communicated.
