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, October 25 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. in the Board Lounge.  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. Fritz Dolak, Copyright and Intellectual Property Manager of the University Copyright Center at Ball State University, will review the list of "Do's and Don'ts for Transmitting Copyrighted Materials" he created for the Indiana Partnership for Statewide Education. Learn how to use the TEACH Act and CONFU Multimedia Guidelines to legally use those portions of copyrighted works for your distance education classroom.

To make a reservation, please contact Carol Wilkinson via email or at ext. 3019.
