Copyright Guidelines - 1 views

  • Copyright laws do allow teachers some uses of some copyrighted materials. Fair use guidelines consider: The purpose of the use (educational vs. commercial) The nature of the work (published and fact-based vs. highly creative) The amount of the work used The market effect of the use on the work.
  • The educational exemption applies if:The copyrighted material is used in a classroom or school library.The material is used as a part of face-to-face instruction with students. A teacher must be in charge and the material must relate directly to the subject being taught. The amount of the work used is only as much as is required for this lesson.The material must be legally acquired. (Purchased, rented, or borrowed from a library.)

Teachers Should Know Copyright from Wrong | Edutopia - 1 views

  • "Fair use in the educational setting is defined more broadly but does not encompass all uses," warns Ensign.
  • Ensign says a teacher may not be allowed to show the film The Lion King to the class simply because it was raining and the kids were squirrelly. It could be shown only if the class were doing a study of Disney films or were engaged in the study of a related subject.

      Love this chart!

  • Copying and using selected parts of copyrighted works for specific educational purposes qualifies as fair use

About - Creative Commons - 2 views

  • The idea of universal access to research, education, and culture is made possible by the Internet, but our legal and social systems don’t always allow that idea to be realized. Copyright was created long before the emergence of the Internet, and can make it hard to legally perform actions we take for granted on the network: copy, paste, edit source, and post to the Web. The default setting of copyright law requires all of these actions to have explicit permission, granted in advance, whether you’re an artist, teacher, scientist, librarian, policymaker, or just a regular user. To achieve the vision of universal access, someone needed to provide a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates a balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws. That someone is Creative Commons.
  •  
    Great resource for those (like me) who had never heard of "creative Commons"
  •  
    Creative Commons develops, supports, and stewards legal and technical infrastructure that maximizes digital creativity, sharing, and innovation. (quoted from article)

  • These extensions mean, among other things, every generation fewer and fewer works will find their way into public domain. Public domain essentially means a work is no longer protected and anyone is free to use it.

  • A Creative Commons license doesn’t replace your copyright so much as let you decide what, if any rights you’re willing to let go of.
  • Quoting the non-legalese version is defined this way: This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered, in terms of what others can do with your works licensed under Attribution.
