New Guide to Fair Use in Education
Copyright, designed to protect the legal rights of creators of ideas, texts, images and other media, can be confusing, and fair use of materials for educational purposes can be difficult to assess. A new guide to fair use of all types of media for education was released earlier this month by the Center for Social Media at American University, created in consultation with a legal advisory team. “The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education” explains the issues in a concise and lucid manner, and is available in its entirety here:
