  Copyright for Distance Education
 

Technology Requirements:

Many courseware packages include most of the technological protections that are necessary to comply with the TEACH Act.

  1. Only the students officially enrolled in the class may have access to the materials.
  2. The materials are available to the students only for the duration of the class session.
  3. To the extent technologically possible, technological protections have been implemented to prevent students from retaining and further distributing the course materials.

Instructors must meet all of the above technology requirements to qualify for the distance education exemption. If all the requirements are not met, then apply the fair use exemption.
