I am aware that there are four prongs to fair use and just because it is used for education does not alone justify fair use.
Purpose (educational and transformative)
Nature (creative vs. factual)
Amount of the Work
Effect on Market (are you bypassing paying for legally acquired materials)
The materials I want to use are specifically for students in my course and will only be used within our LMS system.
The materials are directly related and of material assistance to my teaching content. Fair use does not cover clubs or enrichment activities.
I will model my academic integrity by attributing, citing, or posting a copyright notice for all materials that I use.
The materials (including video) are of the proper type and amount that fair use authorizes.
The materials are not among those the law specifically excludes from its coverage or violates individual EULA or Terms of Service agreements (such as Netflix, Hulu, Teachers Pay Teachers, etc.).
I am aware that digitizing content that specifically states it can not or should not be digitized may violate any fair use argument even in educational settings.
I am aware that digitizing consumable materials (from workbooks for example) is illegal even in educational settings unless expressed written permission is obtained from the publisher.
If there is a legal, digitized way to obtain the content (video, picture, work, etc.) I will pursue avenues to legally obtain a copy of the item.
I will actively seek out guidance from the Teaching and Learning Team if there is a question on whether posting, linking, digitizing print materials (photos, written work, etc.) or showing a video is in question.
