The TEACH act
Under the TEACH Act:
• Instructors may use a wider range of works in distance learning environments.
• Students may participate in distance learning sessions from virtually any location.
• Participants enjoy greater latitude when it comes to storing, copying and digitizing materials.

TEACH Act Requirements
In exchange for unprecedented access to copyright-protected material for distance education, the TEACH Act
requires that the academic institution meet specific requirements for copyright compliance and education. For the
full list of requirements, refer to the TEACH Act at www.copyright.gov/legislation/archive/.
In order for the use of copyrighted materials in distance education to qualify for the TEACH Act exemptions, the
following criteria must be met:
• The institution must be an accredited, non-profit educational institution.
• The use must be part of mediated instructional activities.
• The use must be limited to a specific number of students enrolled in a specific class.
• The use must either be for ‘live’ or asynchronous class sessions.
• The use must not include the transmission of textbook materials, materials “typically purchased or acquired
by students,” or works developed specifically for online uses.
