Media Guidelines for Distance Education Courses: Selecting Content and Requesting Video Clips

Abstract

Instructors teaching distance education courses often want to use proprietary video content to convey and illustrate concepts in support of student learning. George Mason University librarians developed internal guidelines for the purposes of explaining copyright and fair use in the context of media, and describing the workflow by which streaming video clips could be requested by their user community. These guidelines are the precursor to a more fully developed streaming media policy for the library.
