• Resumen

  • The TEACH Act addresses a gap in copyright law that allowed certain types of materials to be used in traditional face-to-face classrooms in ways not allowed in distance education courses. In doing so, Congress sought to preserve the balance between the interests of the owners of copyright protected works and those of users in nonprofit educational settings. Consequently, the TEACH Act imposes administrative and technological prerequisites on institutions of higher education that choose to utilize its expanded rights. While a number of institutions of higher education offer hospitality related degrees online, few have elected to comply with the TEACH Act.
