Linking, Embedding & Streaming: What’s Legal? What’s Not?

With online teaching, there are virtually no limits to what you can share with your students to enrich their educational experience.

Except the legal ones.

Copyright law doesn’t stop at your classroom door—especially if your course is online.

Explore the legal ins and outs of using online material in the Linking, Embedding & Streaming: What’s Legal? What’s Not? 20-Minute Mentor, presented by Linda Enghagen, JD.

Learning Goals

When it comes to copyright issues, what you don’t know CAN hurt you.

Running afoul of federal law or your institutions policies can wreak havoc on your reputation and even your finances.

In less time than you might spend wading through social media, this program explains what is and isn’t permitted in online teaching and offers guidelines to help you find your own way when you encounter those areas that need a judgment call.

Upon completion of this program, you’ll be able to:

• Distinguish between the practices of linking, embedding, and streaming
• Apply copyright rules and regulations for legal linking and embedding
• Explain how the TEACH Act and fair use affect streaming

Topics Covered

You don’t have to be a practicing attorney or a copyright expert to be an effective online educator, but you do need to know your legal limits.

Linking, Embedding & Streaming: What’s Legal? What’s Not? will help you understand the legal context within which you can legally use videos, DVDs, websites, and streaming content.

You’ll discover more about the range of content available to you and improve your awareness of when you could be stretching the boundaries of fair use. You’ll learn:

• How the TEACH Act affects your latitude in linking, embedding, and streaming
• Why deep linking and framing should be used with caution
• What Netflix administrators think about faculty members who stream their videos
• The answer to the most common question about copyright in online classes
• The four situations when streaming is clearly lawful
• The two most important things to remember about the TEACH Act
