What's Fair to Use?
Copyright, Fair Use, Creative Commons Learning Module
Copyright, fair use, public domain, Creative Commons. These terms can be confusing, especially in the digital world. Yet, it is essential for teachers and students to understand them. What happens when teachers or their students want to use information found on the Internet? Can students, for example, use images, video, or music found online for classroom projects? Can teachers use images found online for teaching? We have created this learning module to help students and teachers answer these questions and, in the process, become more responsible digital citizens.
This learning module can also be found on our the Digital Texts and Tools site.
