GAMABrief: What Every School Needs to Know About Copyright LawChristina Gagnier
Technology in the classroom is nothing new, but with the rise of smartphones, smart boards and tablet computing, the way teachers and students use and engage with media continues to grow and evolve. Any time educational content is used, shared or created, whether by teachers or by students, IP laws and, specifically, copyright laws, are implicated. Administrators, teachers and students must all be aware of what activity is freely permissible under U.S. Copyright Law, and what sort of activities might run afoul of the law.
Session Description: Join this session to explore what U.S. Copyright law has to say about video in schools. We’ll cover the major instances people use video in schools, including showing analog and digital videos in the classroom, libraries lending videos, and students/faculty using video clips for assignments. The session will end with a brainstorming session on how best to educate students and faculty on copyright.
Distance learning involves teaching students who are separated from the instructor by location and/or time. It can be facilitated through various technologies like television, audio, and the internet. Television can engage viewers and present information visually, while audio instruction does not require advanced technology skills. When using the internet, users should follow netiquette guidelines which include respecting others' privacy, using appropriate language, keeping discussions on topic, and properly citing sources to avoid copyright issues. Copyright protects original creative works and is important to respect intellectual property rights.

This document discusses several legal issues related to podcasting in education:
1. Copyright law protects original creative works included in podcasts, such as scripts, recordings, and images. The owner of copyright is usually the creator/author of the work. Podcasts may involve copyright of the underlying content as well as the sound recording.
2. upcoming regulations may consider educational podcasts a form of broadcasting and impose new standards, though non-commercial uses may be exempt.
3. In addition to copyright, moral rights and trademarks must be considered when using third-party content or brands in a podcast. Institutions should take care to comply with all applicable laws.
1) Copyright law governs the use of original creative works and defines the rights of copyright owners. It applies to both analog and digital works.
2) The owner of a copyrighted work has the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, display, or perform the work publicly. For works found online, copyright protection still applies unless the work is explicitly labeled as public domain.

Copyright protects original works when fixed in a tangible form. The Indian Copyright Act of 1957 governs copyright and has been amended over time. Copyright ensures minimum protections for creators and rewards creativity. Once a work is created and fixed, copyright is secured automatically. However, new technologies pose challenges for copyright owners to prevent unauthorized use online. Copyright law provides certain exclusive rights to owners, and terms and conditions as well as technology can help enforce digital copyrights.
Fair use allows the use of copyrighted materials without permission for purposes such as education. It permits teachers and students to use portions of copyrighted works in presentations and assignments. Key aspects of fair use include using materials to support learning and critical thinking, transforming original works in new creations, and giving credit to original sources. The document provides examples of fair use and links to further information on copyright guidelines for educators.
This document discusses copyright and fair use. It explains that copyright protects original creative works and outlines penalties for copying or distributing those works without permission.

The document discusses provisions from the Philippine Copyright Law regarding e-reserves and fair use practices for libraries. It outlines that:
1) Section 188.1 of the law allows libraries to make limited copies of works for preservation purposes without authorization, as long as the activities are non-profit.
2) Libraries can provide e-reserves of copyrighted materials under fair use guidelines, such as limiting access to enrolled students and removing materials at the end of each semester.
3) When possible, libraries will purchase copyrighted materials for e-reserves rather than digitizing entire works without permission.
The document provides an overview of public domain works and orphan works, which lack active copyright protection. It discusses implied and express licenses to use internet materials and liability for posting infringing content. Fair use is examined as a limitation on copyright that allows certain uses of copyrighted works without permission. The TEACH Act is summarized as authorizing certain online educational uses of copyrighted materials. The document provides guidance on determining whether a work is protected by copyright and obtaining permissions to use copyrighted works.
The TEACH Act of 2002 updated copyright law to allow certain uses of copyrighted materials for distance education. It permits educational institutions to digitize and perform/display copyrighted works as part of online courses if specific conditions are met. The Act requires educational institutions to have policies on copyright, provide notices to students, and use technological measures to limit access and retention of copyrighted materials to enrolled students for a limited time period only during a class session. Faculty must ensure their use of copyrighted materials meets the conditions of being an integral part of the lesson and using only a small portion of the work. The Act aims to balance copyright protections with the needs of digital education but does not permit full copying of works.
Copyright law grants authors and inventors exclusive rights over their creative works. Copyright automatically applies to original works like books, music, art, and software upon creation. Schools can use copyrighted materials for educational purposes under certain conditions like fair use or obtaining a site license. Illegal copying, known as piracy, costs authors billions each year. New guidelines under acts like TEACH aim to expand access to copyrighted works for distance learning while still protecting owners' rights.

Copyright for educators_09v4-presentationRenee Setser
The Forney ISD does not discriminate and ensures equal access to programs and activities. Copyright law protects particular expressions of ideas and facts, not the ideas themselves. Fair use allows use of copyrighted works for purposes like teaching under certain guidelines regarding factors such as the portion used and the work's nature. Teachers should follow multimedia guidelines and district policy on video usage to ensure legal use of copyrighted materials.
This document provides an overview of copyright restrictions and exceptions for educational use, including Fair Use and the TEACH Act. It explains that as an educator, one is responsible for ensuring all copyrighted content used in courses either has permission, falls under Fair Use guidelines, or is covered by the TEACH Act. Faculty are expected to comply with copyright law and policies, and copyrighted content cannot be used without proper permission or exception. The TEACH Act allows certain uses of copyrighted works for distance education if specific conditions are met regarding accredited non-profit institutions, reasonable portions of works, direction of instructors, and limiting access to students in the course.
This paper will discuss perceived attitudes and observed barriers to the release of Open Educational Resources (OER) within UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Further Education Colleges (FECs).
Through an OER pilot project involving seven partner institutions across the UK, a pattern of Intellectual Property Right (IPR)-related obstacles has arisen. The main issue faced by the project was academics' unfamiliarity with IPR when it came to releasing materials to the wider world outside of their institution and ‘normal’ publishing routes.

How to Reduce Readmissions by Changing Patient EducationChuck Jones
The challenge is no longer finding the perfect medication but rather convincing the patient to take their medication as prescribed. It's no longer providing discharge instructions but educating the patient so they understand the need to follow through on behavior change to avoid repeating habits that brought them to the hospital in the first place.
What technology challenges are you facing today? A recent forum of CTO's found that while funding is an on-going issue there are other challenges that can be equally as daunting.
To compound the technology issues, a recent survey found that only 51% of school districts had their own IT Director. This means 49% of Districts are staffed by a part-timer (i.e. Principal or Teacher) or the position is not staffed. Given the growing importance of integrating IT and Digital Learning this could be a major obstacle for many districts.
We've highlighted some of the challenges and provided resources where available to help you chart a course.

Projector brightness needs to accommodate ambient light levels, with 2000-2500 lumens recommended for rooms with bright lighting. Resolution should match what is being displayed. The document aims to help schools identify important features rather than recommend specific brands or models.
How To Use Video To Lower Training CostsChuck Jones
The document discusses how video can be used to reduce training costs for fire and rescue personnel. It outlines that video is an effective training tool that allows people to remember 70-90% of what they see and hear. It then discusses different options for delivering training videos like duplication, satellite, cable channels, and streaming. However, these options have drawbacks like high costs, inability to access videos on demand, and network issues. The document promotes the VideoCourier solution which allows 24/7 on-demand access to training videos using a city's network bandwidth at off-peak hours, addressing the issues with other options.
Video can be an effective teaching tool in the classroom. Teachers find that video stimulates discussion, reinforces lessons, and helps students learn. Students who regularly see videos in class perform better on tests and are more engaged. Research shows videos improve understanding when paired with active learning assignments before and after viewing. Teachers should keep videos short and relevant to lesson objectives in order to maintain student attention.

2. The purpose of this document1 is to help educators and students better
understand the complex and often confusing copyright laws and how
they pertain to the use of copyrighted material in the classroom.
Educators should feel confident that they can use copyrighted material
for instructional purposes and not worry about legal ramifications.
The good news is that once all the legal jargon, sections and
subsections are sorted out, there are very strong protections for
educators and students alike. This short and simple guide will explain
the four keys that exist within our current copyright laws that allow
educators to utilize all variety of copyrighted material and also convert
video from one format into another that works best in the classroom.
In the following pages we will explain:
1. How the educational environment is exempt from nearly all of
the copyright restrictions regarding the use of copyrighted
material.
2. How the most recent revision of the Copyright Law, known as
the Teach Act, allows for the digital conversion and transmission
of copyrighted content that is in a non-digital format (like VHS).
3. What the intent of the “Fair Use” provision of the Copyright Law
is, and how it gives educators and students a tremendous
advantage when working with copyrighted materials.
4. Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that each of
the pieces of legislation exist to allow for educational use of
copyrighted materials but also has limitations. The key to
remember is that when all of the protections are looked at in
combination, you quickly realize that the use of these materials
by educators in the classroom is virtually limitless, and you can
use these materials without fear of being in violation of any of
the copyright laws as long as your use of copyrighted material is
not in a commercial environment for financial gain.
What Part of the Copyright Law Exempts Educators?
Section 110 - Here is what it says:
§ 110 · Limitations on exclusive rights: Exemption of certain performances
and displays Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, the following are not
infringements of copyright: (1) performance or display of a work by instructors or pupils
in the course of face-to-face teaching activities of a nonprofit educational institution, in a
classroom or similar place devoted to instruction, unless, in the case of a motion picture
or other audiovisual work, the performance, or the display of individual images, is given
by means of a copy that was not lawfully made under this title, and that the person
responsible for the performance knew or had reason to believe was not lawfully made.
An Educator’s Guide to Copyright and Video Materials Page 2
3. This is what it means:
In short, section 110 of the United States Copyright Law provides
exemptions for the copying, digital encoding, and digital transmission
of copyrighted materials for teachers and students in the course of
their studies.
NOLO (http://www.nolo.com) is an online web portal designed to make
America’s legal system available to everyone. As such, their mission is
to present things in a common sense approach. They provide articles,
podcasts and other guidelines on their website, written by attorneys to
address all areas of law. Here’s their interpretation of Copyright Law:

after all, there are no copyright police roaming the nation's
classrooms.”
Recent Revisions – Known as the “Teach Act”
The Teach Act was added to the Copyright Law in late 2002, and is
also found in section 110. The language used is complex, but here is
what you as an educator need to know:
“The everyday 1. Transmitting performances of all of a non-dramatic literary

This category includes all audiovisual works such as films and videos of
all types, and any dramatic musical works excluded above.
3. Transmitting displays of any work in amounts comparable to
typical face-to-face displays
This category would include still images of all kinds.
An Educator’s Guide to Copyright and Video Materials Page 3
4. Finally, a new section was added to the Copyright Act in conjunction
with the Teach Act to authorize educators to make the copies
necessary to display and perform works in a digital environment. New
Section 112(f) (ephemeral recordings) works with Section 110 to
permit those authorized to perform and display works under 110 to
copy digital works and digitize analog works in order to make
authorized displays and performances so long as such copies are
retained only by the institution and used only for the activities
authorized by Section 110.
This means you can encode or transcode content to meet your needs
as long as those needs stay within the classroom learning environment
and are used for educational purposes and not commercial gain and as
long as all digital copies are retained by your school or institution.
What is “Fair Use” in the Copyright Law?
Fair use is an interpretive and flexible portion of the Copyright Law
that allows for the use of portions of copyrighted material based on the
following criteria:
• The nature of the copyrighted work
• The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to
the copyrighted work as a whole
• The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of
the work
• The purpose and character of the use, including whether such
use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational
purposes
What if I need to Record Something from Cable or TV for My
Class? Am I still protected?
From NOLO.com, “Television programs, like most other types of
expression, are protected by federal copyright laws. This means that
as a general rule, a TV program can legally be taped and shown to
students only with the copyright owner's permission.
Fortunately, the Copyright Act contains a special exception. Under
what is known as the "Fair Use" rule, someone other than the
copyright owner may make limited use of a copyrighted work without
permission for purposes such as teaching, research, scholarship,
criticism, parody, and news reporting.”
There are limitations to this area of the law in that you can record a TV
program that was broadcast to the general public and you can make
several copies of the work but you must show the work within the first
10 consecutive days following the recording. If there is a desire to
An Educator’s Guide to Copyright and Video Materials Page 4
5. show the content beyond the 10 day window you should consider
contacting the copyright holder to purchase the rights to the content.
Programs from non-public broadcasts such as HBO, C-SPAN and
similar providers are not included in this exemption since they are only
offered in cable service plans and not considered a broadcast to the
general public.
Conclusion
To date, there has been no legal challenge to the idea that educators
and their pupils are exempt from the restrictions of United States
Copyright Law. This fact alone suggests that the private sector is not
interested in coming after students or teachers who use copyrighted
materials to further their ability to teach and to learn.
Additionally, the combination of all the protections described above
leave no legal grounds for any copyright violation claim to be made
against an educator. The recent crackdown on the overall piracy
market has created a myth among teachers that has caused some
educators to reject using videos in fear of a legal backlash.
However, “schools have a special responsibility to set an example
regarding copyright law. And from a purely practical point of view,
schools are an important market for producers of documentaries and
other educational works. If, instead of buying copies of a program,
schools simply taped a telecast and made as many copies as they
chose, producers might be discouraged from entering this market and
