Activity Summary
Understanding the basics of copyright law is important for facilitators who create and deliver educational materials for presentations. Cartoons, pictures, photos, music and characters created by others are commonly used to make educational presentations more interesting. However, using others’ content without permission can put you and/or your employer at legal risk. This webinar discusses important information on copyright law related to the use of protected audio or visual resources, frequently cited excuses for copyright violations (e.g., its availability on the internet, doctrine of Fair Use, TEACH Act) and why those excuses may or may not apply to the facilitator who creates learning materials for a poster, a conference or a webinar. Case studies based on “real-life” situations a facilitator might encounter are used to support the didactic information and are part of completing the CE activity.
Objectives
- Describe basic concepts of copyright law guiding the use of others’ works when facilitating learning at a conference, online, or via a webinar.
- Identify common misperceptions of copyright law and the impact on people who teach for professional organizations (rather than teaching in academia).
- Apply “best practice” when using others’ works.
