Great thinking on this! How will this information inform your Lit Review?
ReplyDeleteHey Dr. C!
DeleteThis has already lead our literature review in thinking about our multi-media presented on our website, specific items listed within the criteria of our digital badges themselves, and how presenting material learners need to learn within the steps of earning the badge are all cited appropriately.

Amanda, I also discussed the muddy waters of copyright and Fair Use. While I didn’t elaborate on it, I thought it confusing that there are differences between what’s allowed in the physical classroom versus the online classroom. I appreciated that you pointed out traditional, brick-and-mortar classrooms are less likely to be chastised for violating copyright law than online classroom environments because they way the materials are distributed is more likely to be noticed. That certainly makes more sense, although I still think that this area of educational technology is still unclear.
ReplyDeleteAmanda,
ReplyDeleteYour summary of the issues of copyrighted documents and materials was detailed and well presented. No doubt instructors and students have walked a gray line and perhaps violated copyrights. During my military days, I worked at a military law school and the civilian lawyer who taught on copyright law focused solely on the four factors of Fair Use Statute. Of course that was prior to the Teach Act of 2002 (Veak, T., 2015). Veak, T. (2015), stated that the Teach Act restricts the amount of non-text media that may be used to limited and reasonable amounts. The terms “limited” and “reasonable” seem clear, however, I could see how students may overlook these restrictions. Educator’s must take the lead in helping students understand and properly apply the Teach Act and Fair Use when considering the use of copyrighted materials. Though there exist gray areas, Dr. Veak offered several excellent preventive tips. Thank you for sharing your blog.

Copyright laws seem to be the most unclear points in these blogs for this week. Copyright laws and materials that are covered under copyright laws is very unclear because there are so many different types of materials that require to be copyrighted or not copyrighted. I don't think anyone would purposefully violate copyrighted material but it has to be looked at and paid attention to. With technology being a major part of life, we as teachers must take note of the copyright laws that deal with the Internet. "Educators also should keep in mind that works posted on other sites might not have been posted by the copyright owner or with the copyright owner's permission. Just because a copyrighted work is already posted on the Web doesn't mean it's there legally" (Copyright Law).
