- How does an understanding of Fair Use affect one’s role as an online instructor?
When teaching online it is especially important to make sure that items found online are used legally. In most cases it's okay to use just about anything for educational purposes but when in doubt always give credit to the source. When teaching online there is alway a record of what was used and said as is not the case when teaching f2f so citing references is of great importance.
- How do Fair Use and the TEACH Act correlate to the delivery of reliable content?
The TEACH Act extends Fair Use to distance education. As mentioned above, it's especially important to cite references and "stay legal" with online instruction and although according to the TEACH Act online instructors still don't have as much leeway as f2f, most rights are granted.
