Before uploading copyrighted materials in your online course in Blackboard, please check that you will:


Use the copyrighted material(s) directly related and of material assistance to the teaching content of the transmission.


Wherever possible, provide a link to the copyrighted material rather than embed it directly into the course.


Only upload that part of the item analogous to face-to-face classroom use.


Not use the item as “ancillary materials” that remain in the course all semester.


Take down the materials immediately after the class session or course is complete.


Determine that it is not digital content created and marketed by publishers primarily for use in courses such as textbooks, workbooks or course packs that are usually purchased by students.


Stream that portion that is directly related and of material assistance to the learning outcomes of the course.


Use a lawfully made copy of the video [for example not copied using a DVR or commercially available software that converts DVDs to digital format for sharing.]


Only stream entire copyrighted videos that have streaming rights.


If the video does not have streaming rights or the cost of the rights are prohibitive, use a fair use argument that the entire video is pedagogically necessary to meet the learning objectives of your course.


Only convert analog [VHS] to digital format if no digital version is available. [Contact library to purchase DVD if available].


Inform students that materials used in connection with the course may be subject to copyright protection and insert a notice of copyright.


Inform students that they may not download, duplicate or share copyrighted videos via the web or video-sharing software.


Provide full attribution, in a form satisfactory to scholars in the field, for each work included or excerpted.


If you are unable to comply with one or more of the items above, please consider the following fair use checklist to determine if you can invoke educational fair use instead of obtaining permission from the copyright holder.

Briefly state your fair use argument here:
