What is the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education?
The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education is a document that clarifies how fair use applies to the most common situations where media literacy educators make use of copyrighted materials in their work. It provides support and guidance for media literacy educators so that they can make their own reasoned and informed judgments about fair use. It addresses five areas of educational practice: 1. using copyrighted materials in media literacy lessons; 2. using copyrighted materials in creating curricula; 3. sharing curriculum materials; 4. student use of copyrighted materials in their work; and 5. developing audiences for student work.
