What are educators
allowed to use?

• use portions of lawfully acquired copyrighted works in the course of face-to-face teaching activities or similar places devoted to instruction to demonstrate to students how to create multimedia projects.
  
  
• use portions of lawfully acquired copyrighted works in production and in using their own multimedia projects for their own teaching tools in support of an identified curriculum.
  
  
• perform or display their own multimedia works created for their own curriculum-based instructional activities, which use portions of copyrighted works lawfully acquired by the educational institution, at workshops of their peers or a conference where educators are presenting work they created for their students.
  
  
• use portions of lawfully acquired copyrighted works in producing their own multimedia educational programs to be used for curriculum-based instructional activities provided over an educational institution's electronic network, provided there are technological limitations on access to the network programs (such as a password or PIN) and on the total number of students enrolled.
  
  
• retain educational multimedia projects created under the Fair Use Guidelines in their personal portfolios for later personal uses such as tenure review or job interviews.
