HOW DO WE USE FAIR DEALINGS So in the classroom, studetns must be vigilant when seaching, downloading and using any work from the internet. This can be songs, videos, images or other projects. It is the responsibilty of the teacher and student to insure that all material used in the class meets Fair Dealing requirments. If it does not meet requirments then Copyright infringments are occuring and both student and teacher are liable under Candian Criminal Code and Ontario Education Act. www. copyrightuser. org/create/creators-discuss/teachers-students/ (2. COPYRIGHT USER. ORG)

THE TWO-PART TEST: EXEMPTION To determine if something is Fair Dealing, a two-part test is applied. The first test is whether or not the use falls under one of the exemptions: research, private study, criticism or review, news reporting, parody and satire or education. If a use falls under one of the exemptions defined in the Copyright Act, six factors are then considered. (3. CANADAS CENTRE FOR DIGITAL AND MEDIA LITERACY )

THE SIX FACTORS ARE: What is the purpose of the dealing? What is the character of the dealing? What is the amount of the dealing? What alternatives to the dealing are available? What is the nature of the work? What is the effect of the dealing on the work? (3. CANADAS CENTRE FOR DIGITAL AND MEDIA LITERACY )
