Fair use allows educators and students to use copyrighted content for educational purposes within certain guidelines. There are no strict rules for fair use, so educators must use reasonableness and consider factors like the nature of the work, amount used, and purpose of the use. Many educators remain confused about fair use despite resources to help them better understand copyright law and when their educational uses may qualify as fair use.
