- What is the difference between Media in Education vs Media Literacy Education? Media literacy is the capicity to access, analyze, evaluate, and communicate messages in a wide variety of forms. Media in education is using texts, audiovisual, and digital material to convey facts and information.
- What social bargain is at the heart of Fair use? We as a society give limited property rights to creators to encourage them to produce culture; at the same time, we give other creators the chance to use that same copyrighted material, without permission or payment, in some circumstances.
- Why is Fair Use more important today? As copyright protects more works for longer periods than ever before, creators face new challenges: licenses to incorporate copyrighted sources become more expensive and more difficult to obtain - and sometimes are simply unavailable.
- What are the two key questions judges use to determine Fair Use? 1. Did the unlicensed use "transform" the material taken from the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original? 2. Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted material and of the use?
- A teacher shows a movie of The Lion King and asks student to notice how the animals in the movie reflect racial stereotypes? Is this Fair Use? Why? The teacher only used a small portion of the video to teach a lesson, so this would fall under Fair Use.
- Which principle relates most strongly to the digital story you created in class? Explain. Sharing media literacy curriculum materials. I was using the pictures and videos to share information on bollywood for my instructional technology class.
- Are there limitations to the amount of pictures, length of music, or video that can be used in a multimedia project? Yes, for example, you cannot post an entire movie or song without getting permission.
- Do you need to request permission from the original creator in order to use copyrighted material in multimedia project for school related assignment? This would usually fall under the guidelines of fair use, so under normal circumstances, the students would not need permission.
- Should educators try to change the policies in their school if they are not in line with Fair Use doctrine? Yes. School systems are not exempt from following fair use practices.
- What common myth about Fair Use surprised you the most? "If I'm not making any money, it's fair use."
