Learning outcomes

After participating in this eCourse, you will be able to:
  • Recognize and react to possible copyright restrictions of concern for presenters and teachers
  • Explain the “fair use doctrine” and the four criteria which determine “fair use”
  • Interpret copyright law in terms of various presentation media
  • Obtain permission or licenses to use various copyright-protected media
  • Navigate and submit internet release forms
To create media-rich presentations and lessons, librarians and educators often turn to content created by others, wading into the murky waters of copyright. In this eCourse expert educator Butler will guide you through the specific applications of U.S. copyright law common to workshops, lesson plans, tutorials, and other presentations. You will learn how to assert your “fair use” rights, and also how to efficiently seek permission from rightsholders when necessary.  For reference during and after the course, your purchase includes the PDF version of Butler’sCopyright for Teachers and Librarians in the 21st Century.
