Sabrina Kleinfeld explains what copyright is and how it affects teachers. She clarifies that being a teacher does not exempt one from copyright laws. However, fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission. Factors such as test brevity, test spontaneity, and market effects determine if fair use applies. Hello, everyone. My name is Sabrina Kleinfeld, and today I'm going to be talking to you about copyright. What is copyright? Copyright gives the creator of a certain creation private rights to their creation. So creators have control over who uses their creation and the work that comes from their creation. How does copyright affect teachers? A lot of teachers don't know the rules of copyright. Just because you are a teacher does not mean you get an exception to copyright laws. Even though copyright can scare a lot of teachers, there is a way that teachers can use copyright through fair use. Fair use allows limited use of copyright material without requiring permission from the creators. There are a few components of copyright use, like test brevity, which is the percent of the work that can be used. Test spontaneity, which is the time between the design and when you actually use the work. And commutative effect. Will your work affect how it does in the market? I hope this helps you learn a little bit more about copyright.
