Complying with The TEACH ACT and Copyright Issues in Distance Education Audioconference


MCC will host the ITC Audioconference entitled "Complying with The TEACH ACT and Copyright Issues in Distance Education" scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 12 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in the Board Lounge on the Brighton Campus. 

What does the TEACH Act mean for distance educators? TEACH amended the U.S. Copyright Act to allow educators at accredited higher education or recognized K-12 institutions to transmit portions of legally acquired audiovisual works over distance learning networks, without having to first obtain permission from the work’s copyright owner. Presenter Fritz Dolak, Copyright and Electronic Resources Librarian, University Copyright Center at Ball State University, will also review the list he created for the Indiana Partnership for Statewide Education of Do's and Don'ts for transmitting copyrighted materials. Learn how to use the TEACH Act and CONFU Multimedia Guidelines to legally use those portions of copyrighted works for your distance education classroom. 

Please contact Carol Wilkinson via email or at ext. 3019 to make a reservation.
