Interactive Guide to Using Copyrighted Media in Your Courses

Baruch College's Guide to Using Copyrighted Media in Your Course. Website.
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/tutorials/copyright/

"Using copyrighted audio, images, and audiovisuals (videos) can be confusing to some faculty, leaving some faculty to not use media at all or to use it incorrectly and find themselves personally liable for copyright infringement." These are the opening statements of Baruch's interactive guide designed to help educators better understand their rights and responsbilities in using copyrighted media in class or over a secure online system. In addition to the interactive tutorial, the site offers an overview of fair use, faculty scenarios, and links to resources. This site is a must-see for anyone using media in their courses!
