A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Copyright and Fair Use for the
Classroom
Jane Treadwell, University Librarian and Dean of
Library Instructional Services
H. Stephen McMinn, Director of Collections and
Scholarly Communications
2. Overview/Outline
Introduction – What is Copyright?
Fair Use
Recent Decisions
Georgia State University Decision
--Implications
3. Copyright -- U.S. Constitution
“Empowers the United States Congress to
promote the Progress of Science and useful
Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors
and Inventors the exclusive Right to their
respective Writings and Discoveries”
Copyright Clause of the U. S. Constitution
(Article I, Section 8, Clause 8)
4. Exceptions to Copyright Law
Numerous - depending on type of
material, users, and author/producers
3 Major for Educational Purposes
1. Face-to-face Instruction
2. Virtual Instruction
3. Fair Use
5. Face-to-face Instruction*
Traditional classroom -- In this setting all
performances and displays of a work
(Text, Music, Images, and Video) are allowed.
Requirements:
1. All materials must be legally acquired.
2. Teaching activities must take place in a classroom or a similar place
devoted to instruction.
(*Section 110 of the U.S. Copyright Code)
6. Virtual Instruction*
Online, Hybrid, or supplemental use of course
management systems. Virtual instruction
includes digitally transmitting class materials
to students. The basic premise is to allow
comparable instruction in the online
environment as to what takes place in a
traditional classroom.
(*Section 110(2) -- TEACH Act)
7. TEACH Act Requirements- 3 Types
Instructors
– Regular part of the curriculum, chosen by the
instructor, must be an integral part of the class
session, directly related to the teaching
content, and comparable to traditional class.
Technology
– Only enrolled students, only for the duration of
the class, and students can’t copy/share.
8. TEACH Act Requirements- 3 Types
Course Materials
– Listing of acceptable materials – most materials
– Non acceptable materials – textbooks, course
packs, illegal copies
– Must contain notice of copyright
– May convert analog version to digital (only
amount needed)
9. Fair Use
Fair use allows for exceptions to the copyright
law for use not specifically exempted as long
as that use can be considered fair.
A key consideration is the extent to which the
use is interpreted as transformative, as
opposed to merely derivative.
10. Fair Use
The copyright law also states the various
purposes for which the reproduction of a
particular work may be considered fair, some
of these include criticism, comment, news
reporting, teaching, scholarship, and
research.
11. Fair Use
The “fairness” is based on four factors each of
which is weighed equally.
1. Nature and Purpose of the Use
2. Nature of the Copyrighted Work
3. Amount or Substantiality of Portion Used
4. Effect on the Market Place
12. 2 Examples – Example 1
A professor wishes to place on reserve 3
chapters (an introductory chapter and
chapters 14 & 15 of the 15 chapter work).
The work is a non fiction treatise on the
housing crisis by a noted economist, that
analyzes several factors with emphasis on the
changing regulation in the banking industry
as the root cause.
13. 2 Examples – Example 2
To supplement information not discussed in-
depth in the course textbook, an
environmental science professor wants to
place on reserve chapter 6 of a 12 chapter
book on hydrocarbons that discusses the
health, safety, and environmental impact of a
chemical normally used in the clean up of oil
spills.
14. 1st Factor
Purpose and Character of the Use
Purpose –
Nonprofit, Educational, Personal, Commercial,
For Profit
Character –
Teaching, Research, Scholarship, Criticism, Com
mentary, News Reporting, Entertainment
Fair Use – Educational Nonprofit using works
for teaching, research, and scholarship
15. 1st Factor - Purpose and Character
of the Use
Example 1 – Nonprofit Educational
Institution using the work for
Teaching/Scholarship
– Favors Fair Use
Example 2 -- Nonprofit Educational
Institution using the work for
Teaching/Scholarship
– Favors Fair Use
16. 2nd Factor
Nature of the Copyrighted Work
Factual vs. Creative
scholarly, scientific, technical vs.
artistic, fiction, poetry
Some items not covered, i.e. consumables –
workbooks, standardized tests, etc.
Fair Use -- favors use of factual works
17. 2nd Factor - Nature of the
Copyrighted Work
Example 1 – This is a nonfiction popular
work that tends towards creative/opinion
with a broader marketplace than academia
– Tossup
Example 2 – The work is a
factual, scientific/technical work
– Favors Fair Use
18. 3rd Factor
Amount or Substantiality of Portion Used
2 Criteria
How much is used?
Core or “Heart of the Work”?
Depends on type of material
No magic number or percentage*
19. 3rd Factor - Amount or
Substantiality of Portion Used
Example 1 – 3 chapters of 15 chapter work
is 20% and ending chapters with conclusion
could be considered “Heart of the work”
– Favors needing permission
Example 2 – 1 chapter of 12 chapter work
with chapter not core to the overall work.
– Favors Fair Use
20. 4th Factor
Impact on the Market Place
Effect of the use upon the potential market
for, or value of, the copyrighted work
Use vs. Purchase?
Criteria - Permissions readily available or
not, at reasonable cost, own a copy of the
work, access restrictions in place…
21. 4th Factor - Impact on the Market
Place
Example 1 – Library owns copy but e-book
available and permission can be obtained
from Copyright Clearance Center (CCC).
– Favors needing permission
Example 2 – Library owns copy of book,
e-book not available and not with CCC.
– Favors Fair Use
22. 4 Factors Analysis

26. Georgia State Univ. Decision
In Brief –
Three scholarly publishers supported by the
Association of American Publishers and the
Copyright Clearance Center sued GSU in 2008
over electronic reserves policy/practices that
they felt were in violation of Fair Use or were
otherwise infringing on copyright.
27. GSU Decision
Case decided in 2012
5 Total Violations out of 99 or 75
– Started with 99 works but couldn’t prove they
held copyright for 24 of the works
– Analyzed 75 total works for the 4 factors
5 Violations – 4 exceeded amount and
permissions were available and 1 “heart of
the work.”
28. GSU Implications
Really Unknown Still!
– Appeal
– Georgia only
– Reserves and Non-fiction works
*Provided Guidelines on amount – 10% of
works under 10 chapters or 1 chapter for
items with 10 or more chapters
29. GSU Implications
Eliminated old one semester rule!
Leaned heavily on availability of easily and
reasonably obtaining permission
Economic Good News
– “Prevailing Party” Ruling
– Monetary damages would have been negligible
or unavailable due to state sovereign immunity.
30. Takeaways
Library is here to help
– Both E-Reserves and Copyright Questions
Library can’t always perform miracles
– Permissions take time and/or cost money
– Permission costs passed back to Departments
Things are getting better

Editor's Notes
JT In this workshop, we want to give you a brief overview of copyright law as it applies to classroom use. We will spend some time on the concept of fair use and will let you know about recent decisions in the U.S. federal courts that seem to have favorable implications for academic uses of copyrighted works.
Jt Any time a person creates an original work—of art, of music, of writing in its many forms—it becomes copyrighted automatically. Individuals no longer need to register with the U.S. Copyright office to claim copyright to their work. (it helps, however, if you plan to sue anyone else for infringement.) Very often, in the case of academic publishing, authors give up, or assign, the copyright to the publisher—a matter for a workshop next semester on open access. The law says that you as an author, or song writer, or artist, are protected from someone else producing something just like what you did and claiming credit for it. The law is saying if anyone should make a profit from the original work, it should be the work’s producer. Copyright, although originally intended to be for a “limited time” has been extended several times by Congress, so that now, as a general rule, for works created after 1978 the duration of copyright is the life of the author plus 70 years. It’s longer for “works for hire” and for sound recordings. When a work is no longer protected by the copyright law, it is considered to be in the “public domain” and may be used without seeking permission from the copyright holder. In the United States, works published before 1923 generally fall into the public domain.

hsmVirtual instruction is when a course is taught either solely online or when components of face-to-face instruction are taught online such as with Blackboard and other course management systems. Virtual instruction includes digitally transmitting class materials to students. This transmission is authorized under the TEACH (Technology Education and Copyright Harmonization) Act which is a part of the copyright law. The basic premise behind TEACH is to allow comparable instruction in the online environment as to what takes place in a traditional classroom or face-to-face instruction. One of the major requirements of the law is that materials can only be digitally transmitted to students officially registered in the course. There are other requirements for teaching, technology, and course materials that instructors must meet as well before using the TEACH exception.

Jt The four factors to consider in determining if a use can be considered “fair use” were augmented in 1994 in the ruling on the Campbell v. Acuff-Rose case, with the introduction of the concept of transformative use. “Transformative use has to do with the …purpose in utilizing the work, whether or not the original is altered or not…” Parody is a good example of a transformative use, as are remixes of sound recordings.
Jt 1. Purpose—is the proposed use for commercial or nonprofit educational use?Nature—Is the work more factual in nature (scholarly, technical, scientific, etc.) or more a work of creative expression, such as poems, plays, and paintings?Amount and/or substantiality of the the portion used—How much of the work is being copied? Is the portion copied the “heart of the matter?” This can be infringing.Effect on the market place—does your copying affect the publisher’s bottom line in some way? What if everybody did what you are doing?

JT Now we’re going to go over the four factors again, and as we do, think about how each applies to each of the examples we’ve presented.In general, this first factor is always going to be interpreted in favor of educational use since it is one of the explicit examples of permitted use. Also, the character of the use is basically about what we do. Where an individual may run into trouble is in failing to appropriately cite another work.

JT In general, you want to use as little as possible to support your pedagogical aim. And, you don’t want to use what the courts have called “the heart of the matter.” We all have quickly scanned the introduction and the final chapter of a nonfiction work to get a sense of the author’s argument. If those are the portions that we put on reserve, we many be infringing. Again, it depends on the type of material and the relationship of the copied portion to the whole.Although we have been saying that we can’t tell you how much you can “get away with,” the judge in the Georgia State case gave some concrete guidelines that may or may not hold up.

JT For most of my career it seemed that the courts were more inclined to rule in favor of the complainant rather than the defendant when it came to copyright law. Over the course of the past year, we have seen several major rulings in favor of the academic institution that was the defendant. The UCLA case was about the use of streaming video—did UCLA have the right to copy a DVD and stream it to students? The judge ruled in UCLA’s favor, but the case may not have a great deal of wider applicability, since it depended to large extent on the particular contract that UCLA had with the video supplier.Georgia State—this is the big one, and we’ll spend a little longer on it.HathiTrust—The Author’s Guild had sued this collection of CIC institutions for scanning and making available for certain uses, essentially their entire collections. We are talking about Michigan and UIUC, among others, who had been part of the Google Books project. Approved uses now include preservation and full-text searching and indexing, as well as searching by visually impaired patrons.Wiley v. Kirtsaeng—Arguments were just heard before the Supreme Court in this case in which a publisher is suing a graduate student from Thailand for buying copies of their books overseas and then reselling them in the United States. At question is the “first sale doctrine,” focusing on whether it applies to works produced overseas.
