The document outlines five principles of fair use for employing copyrighted material in media literacy education. It discusses using excerpts in lessons, curriculum materials, and student works, as well as sharing curriculum and student works. For each principle, it provides examples and limitations to ensure uses are legal and appropriate transformations of original works. It also covers licensing options and the different types of Creative Commons licenses.

6. Copyright Definition: “The legal right granted to an author, a composer, a playwright, a publisher, or a distributor to exclusive publication, production, sale, or distribution of a literary, musical, dramatic, or artistic work.” http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Teachers/copyrightlaw.html Doesn't specify how to apply fair use. Lawyers and judges decide whether use of copyrighted material is “fair” according to a “rule of reason.” http://online.education.ufl.edu/file.php/4197/05DigitalCitizen/CodeofBestPracticesinFairUse.pdf

7. Fair Use Definition: Fair Use allows reproduction of copyrighted works for noncommercial purposes like “criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship or research. Four Factors considered by judges The nature of the use The nature of the work used The extent of the use Its economic effect http://online.education.ufl.edu/file.php/4197/05DigitalCitizen/CodeofBestPracticesinFairUse.pdf

8. Fair Use con't Two additional key questions that arise for judges: Did the unlicensed use “transform the material taken from the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original? Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use? Yes to both questions usually results in a court finding a use fair. http://online.education.ufl.edu/file.php/4197/05DigitalCitizen/CodeofBestPracticesinFairUse.pdf

9. Five Current Principles in the Use of Copyrighted Materials Employing copyrighted material in media literacy lessons Employing copyrighted material in preparing curriculum materials Sharing media literacy curriculum materials Student use of copyrighted materials in their own academic and creative work Developing audiences for student work http://online.education.ufl.edu/file.php/4197/05DigitalCitizen/CodeofBestPracticesinFairUse.pdf

10. Principle One Employing Copyrighted Material in Media Literacy Lessons Description : Educators use various examples of media to build critical-thinking and communication skills Examples : Compare/contrast analysis, illustration of key points using media. Limitations : Educators should use materials relevant to educational goals or purposes, provide proper attribution and model citation practices http://online.education.ufl.edu/file.php/4197/05DigitalCitizen/CodeofBestPracticesinFairUse.pdf

11. Principle Two Employing Copyrighted Material in Preparing Curriculum Materials Description : Teacher use copyrighted materials to create lessons, materials, curricula to apply principles of media literacy education and use digital technologies in an educational setting. Examples : Educators integrate books, podcasts, videos, websites, etc. into curriculum materials designed for learning. Limitations : Educators should provide attribution for copyrighted materials and use only necessary materials that meet professional standards for curriculum development. http://online.education.ufl.edu/file.php/4197/05DigitalCitizen/CodeofBestPracticesinFairUse.pdf

12. Principle Three Sharing Media Literacy Curriculum Materials Description : Educators informally share media literacy curriculum materials from mass media and popular culture through professional development, at educational conferences and by electronic means. Examples : Educators sharing lessons and resource materials with one another. Limitations: Educators should only use materials relevant to educational goals or purposes. They should provide proper attribution and for promotion of materials using third-party images, developers should complete the permissions process. http://online.education.ufl.edu/file.php/4197/05DigitalCitizen/CodeofBestPracticesinFairUse.pdf

13. Principle Four Student Use of Copyrighted Materials in Their Own Academic and Creative Work Description : Students learn to include copyrighted materials in their own creative works. Examples: Students should be allowed to incorporate, modify, and re-present existing media in their own work. Media production, critiques, illustration of ideas/concepts. Limitations: Use of copyrighted material shouldn't be a substitute for creative effort. Students should understand and demonstrate how their use of copyrighted work transforms the original work and should be reminded that attribution, in itself, doesn't convert infringing use into fair use. http://online.education.ufl.edu/file.php/4197/05DigitalCitizen/CodeofBestPracticesinFairUse.pdf

14. Principle Five Developing Audiences for Student Work Description : Students have the opportunity to distribute and share their work with other individuals. Examples : Students' assignments are shared through the Internet by blogging or use of websites. Limitations: Students should use materials relevant to educational goals or purposes and provide proper attribution. Educators should model the real-world permissions process and explore the differences between materials that should be licensed, material that's public domain and copyrighted material subject to fair use. http://online.education.ufl.edu/file.php/4197/05DigitalCitizen/CodeofBestPracticesinFairUse.pdf

15. General Points About Principles The principles: Apply to ALL forms of media. Apply in institutional settings and to non-school based programs. Concern the unlicensed fair use of copyrighted materials for education, not the way those materials were acquired. Are all subject to a “rule of proportionality.” http://online.education.ufl.edu/file.php/4197/05DigitalCitizen/CodeofBestPracticesinFairUse.pdf
