Thanks folks. You confirmed my gut reaction. I suspected that the Music Library Assoc had a document. I normally don't work music classes, but I do know that they, like film studies, usually have the students listen in class and then re-listen to write their paper or take quiz based on the music

No. There is no requirement for this to be used in an online only course. While the criteria are somewhat lengthy and not as concrete as they could be, that is not one of the requirements. Sent from my iPad On Feb 9, 2011, at 9:54 AM, "Jessica Rosner" mailto:jessicapros...@gmail.com>> wrote:

Like I said music is not my area, but issue of whether TEACH allows you to use ANYTHING you would not in fact be using in the course is the key question. It can't be used for some "additional material" you just did not have time to include at least not as I read both the act and LOC's explanation

Jessica, we were talking about music, which does not fall under the limited and reasonable rule under the teach act. Film does. If an institution is the one streaming, i think that they are responsible for at least educating the instructors as to what is an appropriate amount under the section

It is a fine line. Teaching has changed, so less is done in class than was before because the classroom, in a a sense has expanded beyond the walls. One would not read a book, or even an article in class, so that would not be covered, but listening to songs, or a score was something that was do
