The TEACH Act of 2002 was passed into American Federal law to give educators guidance for the use of copyrighted material in online courses. It gives broad leeway to a variety of uses and protects educators from copyright holders who do not want their work used without compensation even if the work is clearly allowed under previous provision of copyright exemption under fair use. This session will examine the literature surrounding the topic of teaching copyright in higher education to faculty. It will also look at how this topic (in particular the TEACH Act of 2002) was taught to faculty at Western Illinois University and also cover some of the material that was highlighted in the workshop curriculum.
