Doctrine that allows educators and students to use copyrighted work
in a fair and responsible manner (Auburn Digital Citizenship)
Must meet all four factors of fair use
Purpose and Character of Use: The purpose should be
educational or non-profit
Nature of the Copyrighted Work: The work is factual and is
unpublished
Amount of work to be used: Using a small amount of the work
and not all of it
Effect of use on the Market/Value of the Work: Using the work
does not deprive the creator or entity holding the copyright of
any sales/does not affect profit.
 Viewing Videos

 Scenario
Is the teacher following copyright?
Mrs. Yellow wants to show a copy of Trolls to her students as
a reward for meeting their reading goals for the month.
Unfortunately she doesnt have a copy and wont receive an
ordered one in time for the reward party. She borrows a
fellow teachers copy and makes a copy of it to use in her
classroom.

NO! The video is not instructional & copying is not ok since

replacements are available at a fair price. Copying the disc
deprives the entity holding the copyright of sales/profit.
 Scenario
Is the teacher following copyright?
Mrs. Blue wants to use a clip from Toy Story to discuss
character traits with her students. Since she found a clip
that she needed on YouTube, she opted not to purchase the
DVD. She felt this was the best option because it saved her
money. (and she was only using a small portion of the movie
anyways).
NO! She is only using a small amount of the original work,
however her use of the clip from YouTube took profit away
from the owner of the work. The clip was also not legally
obtained and broke copyright laws.

Video Projects
May use 10% or 3 minutes of the
original work (whichever is less)
Must be legally acquired (legal
copy)

project. He will be using a DVD copy that his mom
purchased for him at the store. She has told him that it is ok
for him to show the Trolls clip in class during his
presentation as long as he tells students what movie the
clip came from when presenting.
YES & NO! The student is using less than 10% of the original work
(which was acquired legally).but.the teacher needs to be sure
the student includes a written citation in the presentation.
