Create 3.1.2 Fare Use and Teach Act

Fair use must align to the following purposes:

1. The purpose and character of the use
2. The nature of the work
3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the work as a whole
4. The effect of the use on the market or potential market for the original work

 A great example for this is a teacher can not photo copy an entire book to avoid buying a class set, but they are able to photo copy select paragraphs for student use. This effects our role as an educator because it is our responsibility to set an example for our students. Stealing is not acceptable.

The teach act follows the following guidelines:

1. The institution must be an accredited, non-profit educational institution.
2. The use must be part of mediated instructional activities.
3. The use must be limited to a specific number of students enrolled in a specific class.
4. The use must either be for ‘live’ or asynchronous class sessions.
5. The use must not include the transmission of textbook materials, materials “typically purchased or acquired by students,” or works developed specifically for online uses.

The teach act is much more specific for educators and the use of material. We want to make sure as educators we are delivering reliable content in an appropriate manner. We need to be aware of what we are sharing, its sources, and our rights to use it.
