Description: In the educational context, courts have usually been asked to consider fair dealing practices in relation to classroom copying in not-for-profit educational institutions. Classroom copying is only one of the many dealings that a student will likely engage in with copyright protected material. Universities have adopted fair dealing guidelines for the use of material. These are in principle addressed to faculty, staff, and students, but in practice their wording and scope is most relevant to faculty, much less to students. Where does this leave students? This presentation will discuss fair dealing in the educational context from the students’ perspective, analyzing the various types of uses and materials that students will engage with during their time at college or university.
