•How does an understanding of Fair Use affect one’s role as
an online instructor?
Fair Use protects the creators of work. There are many checklists available for
teachers to use that categorizes fair use into favoring fair use and opposing
fair use. It is important for an instructor to know that they cannot use material
for commercial gain, and they cannot deny the author credit. They also should
not do anything that prevents the author from losing a significant amount of money.
This could include making multiple copies, using a material repeatedly or even
posting it to a public space. The purpose of using the material should be for
education and in limited amounts. Using a checklist is a great way to ensure
that you are using resources appropriately.
•How do Fair Use and the TEACH Act correlate to the delivery
of reliable content?
Having these Acts allows educators to have up-to-date
materials. It also provides more resources for the educators to use. Educators can
use reasonable amounts for educational purposes. The TEACH Act expands upon
fair use. It allows for these materials to be accessed online. The Acts seem to be a nice balance between
allowing educators to have access to important materials and allowing the
creators to be protected.
