The Technology, Educational and Copyright Harmonization
Act (TEACH Act) passed in 2002 is a revision to the section
of copyright law that deals with the performance and display
of copyright protected works in distance education settings.
It was intended to bring the distance education rules relating
to the performance, showing and display of copyrighted works
more into line with the rules for face-to-face classroom instruction.
Although the TEACH Act provides some expanded opportunities
for educators in distance education settings, restrictions
still abound and many educators find themselves relying on
the more established "fair use" rules to guide them in their
decisions about when it is appropriate to use another's work.
