Guidelines for Streaming Movies and Music Content in the Classroom
Guidelines for Streaming Movies and Music Content in the Classroom
When you're using a film, video, or TV program in a face-to-face classroom for teaching or educational purposes as part of the curriculum, such as performance or display of the entire work may be allowed without permission under the face-to-face teaching exemption at U.S.C. §110(1).
When showing a film in an online class, it may be considered fair use depending on how much of the film is being shown and for what purposes. If fair use does not apply, you will need a streaming license or view the film through a licensed streaming film provider. Listed below are some popular streaming services and their Terms of Use.
The Maplewood Richmond Heights School District currently subscribes to Swank K12 which contain feature films, therefore you are confined to traditional playing methods such as DVDs or Swank K12. Each school has at least one DVD player that can be checked out for this purpose and connected to a TV, projector, or your computer.
