What is a general definition of “fair use” under the Teach Act?
(David Lee Amstutz, University of Nebraska, Lincoln) Answer: A common misconception is that the TEACH Act is a modification of fair use. The TEACH Act in no way amends the fair use section of the Copyright Act, Section 107. In short, fair use is not affected or modified in any way by the TEACH Act. 8. Question:The TEACH Act has a “class session” requirement. What exactly does this term mean in online learning? Does that mean that the performance or display must be within a specified time frame with student access terminated after that time period expired? (Claudine SchWeber, UMUC) Answer: As used in the TEACH Act, “class session” relates to asynchronous instruction. It does not refer to a specified period of time. Therefore, a class session necessarily will vary from individual student to individual student. It should be thought of generally as the period during which a student is logged onto the institution’s server and accessing the instructional material for that session. 9. Questio
