Is it Fair Use?

In most cases, sharing copyrighted material for educational purposes is considered fair use as long as:

  • The material is uploaded to MyNCS and is only accessible to students in the course 
  • The purpose of use is to educate, critique or transform the work

For examples and FAQs on copyright and fair use in education settings, please visit this guide from The University of Rhode Island.
