    1. The goal is for the students to be the ones actively propelling the discussion, with the instructor serving primarily as a facilitator and factual resource.  

      Get the students to actively lead the discussions.

    2. The class size is limited to eight students to ensure as much interaction as possible between student and instructor. And the instructors for the seminars are typically postdoctoral research scientists with a strong interest in teaching; they’re thus uniquely qualified to help their students learn to read research articles and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the experiments presented.

      amazing, what a well funded institution can do!

    1. Library reference A Library Reference could already be provided by instructors for scanned documents and untagged PDFs as a way to provide additional metadata for files where the instructor doesn’t have access to an original and has no other means of improving the accessibility of the file. Ally 1.36 introduces the ability for instructors to provide a Library Reference for all other PDFs.

      Interesting, how does this work?!

    2. Typically, HTML content is much more accessible in nature. This is especially true for WYSIWYG content in the LMS, as they are usually small and simple HTML fragments. Splitting out the scores in this way allows for a better distinction between content that tends to be more accessible in nature and content that tends to be less accessible in nature, allowing for a better understanding of the overall accessibility score and allowing for more informed training and remediation strategies to be identified.

      splitting content rankings for html vs other items.

      Each version of a recording would probably look different depending on the type of delivery. If it's a distance education course, you probably want to be very thorough. If it's a flipping the classroom, only talk about some key concepts for what they'll do or see in class

    5. Datacollectedfrom40studentswhoenrolledintoavideo-assistedcoursesuggestthatusagestylesaffectstudents’engagementtovideomaterials.

      are 40 students enough data points to make conclusions?

    1. One observation from their analysis of Khan Academy videos was that videos that offered the greatest benefits to students were highly relevant to associated exer-cises. This result is supported by results observed in a “teach-ing-as-research” project at Vanderbilt University

      videos only relevant to the assignment.

    2. ncorpo-rating prompts for students to engage in the type of cognitive activity necessary to process information—to engage in active learning—can help them build and test mental models, explic-itly converting video watching from a passive to an active-learn-ing event.

      incorporate prompts for students to interact with

    3. Integrate questions into videos with HapYak or Zaption, as described by Obodo and Baskauf (2015)Follow short videos with interactive questions within an LMS,

      or embed them into the video themselves.

    4. Finally, the utility of video lessons can be maximized by matching modality to content. By using both the audio/verbal channel and the visual/pictorial channel to convey new infor-mation, and by fitting the particular type of information to the most appropriate channel, instructors can enhance the germane cognitive load of a learning experience.

      matching modality to content. So if you want to talk about history, or a book, or just some reflection, it makes less sense to do it over video, but if you want to talk about art history maybe you want to have a video component or be primarily video

    5. Weeding, or the elimination of interesting but extraneous information that does not contribute to the learning goal, can provide further benefits. For example, music, complex back-grounds, or extra features within an animation require the learner to judge whether he or she should be paying attention to them, which increases extraneous load and can reduce learn-ing.

      Weeding + definition, removing flash and bells and whistles that might cause the student to be distracted

    6. Signaling, which is also known as cueing (deKoning et al., 2009), is the use of on-screen text or symbols to highlight important information. For example, signaling may be provided by the appearance of two or three key words (Mayer and John-son, 2008; Ibrahim et al., 2012), a change in color or contrast (deKoning et al., 2009), or a symbol that draws attention to a region of a screen (e.g., an arrow; deKoning et al., 2009).

      Signaling definition + examples

    7. Specifically, instructors should seek to minimize extraneous cognitive load and should consider the intrinsic cognitive load of the subject when constructing learn-ing experiences, carefully structuring them when the material has high intrinsic load.

      Break those chapters into smaller 3 to 5 day assignments. Tie the video presentations to each assignment.

    8. he second component of any learning experience is germane load, which is the level of cognitive activity necessary to reach the desired learning outcome—for example, to make the comparisons, do the analysis, and elucidate the steps necessary to master the lesson.

      the level of cognitive activity needed to learn the learning outcome (memorize a few words), define terms, recall a history event, draw something.

    9. This processing is a prerequisite for encoding into long-term memory, which has virtually unlimited capacity. Because working memory is very limited, the learner must be selective about what information from sensory mem-ory to pay attention to during the learning process, an observa-tion that has important implications for creating educational materials
    10. Cognitive load theory, initially articulated by Sweller (1988, 1989, 1994), suggests that memory has several components. Sensory memory is tran-sient, collecting information from the environment. Information from sensory memory may be selected for temporary storage and processing in working memory,

      Cognitive load theory

    11. because it can be well suited to illu-minating the abstract or hard-to-visualize phenomena that are the focus of so many biology classes (e.g., Dash et al., 2016; see Video Views and Reviews features in CBE—Life Sciences Education for other examples).

      we have to find images and visualizations for what we are talking about.

    12. Several meta-analyses have shown that technology can enhance learning (e.g., Means et al., 2010; Schmid et al., 2014),

      we know from meta studies that technology is effective and not a hindrance.

    13. three elements: how to manage cognitive load of the video; how to maximize student engagement with the video; and how to promote active learning from the video.

    1. This settlement was reached four years after this litigation began in 2015, when it was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Massachusetts as a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit was prompted by the recognition that, notwithstanding the description of MIT’s online resources as “open and available to the world,” many of its videos and audio recordings lacked captions or used inaccurate captions. MIT had no published policies in place to ensure these learning tools were accessible to people who are deaf and hard of hearing. In the United States alone, there are approximately 50 million deaf and hard of hearing people. 

      so stuff in OCW.MIT.EDU

    2. MIT, one of the most celebrated academic research institutes in the world, has agreed to provide industry standard captioning for publicly-available online content, including video and audio content posted on MIT.edu as well as MIT’s YouTube, Vimeo, and Soundcloud pages, certain live-streaming events and online courses such as Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs), MITx and MIT OpenCourseWare. 

      everything publicly facing and once has to assume it will be privately facing as well as this point. The need for live transcription, natural language processing, and all sorts of things to convert such massive outputs should be through the roof!

    1. The Four-Component Instructional Model (4C/ID) immediately grabbed my attention when looking at the various models we had available. The process involves (a) learning tasks, (b) part-task practice, (c) support information, and (d) procedural information. It seems simple enough but design guidelines laid out in the tables within Merriênboer (2019) provide very thorough suggestions and a constructivist approach. The end product for a curricula or course designed in this approach is one with fidelity to professional activity.

    2. Table 1: Design Principles for Learning Tasks

      one of the things I like about this model is that it is asking you from the get go to think of profession-related activities that can be designed or simulated for students to understand and relate the material.

    3. Instructional methods for part-task prac-tice aim at the strengthening of cognitive rules by extensive repetitive practice. Strengthening is a basic learning process that ultimately leads to fully automated cognitive schemas (Anderson, 1993

      Find the activities in a college class that require routines and rote learning, or cognitive schemas that require practice and "strengthen them"

    4. Procedural information (in Figure 1, the yellow beam with arrows pointing upwards to the learning tasks) helps students with performing the routine aspects of learning tasks, that is, aspects that are always per-formed in the same fashion.

      so break down a lecture theory session from a step by step session. Or a document that has theory information should have a clear divide when you get into the step by step process?

    5. sup-portive information in Figure 1 is not con-nected to individual learning tasks but to levels of complexity; it can be presented be-fore learners start to work on the learning tasks (under the motto ‘first the theory and only then start to practice’) and/or it can be consulted by learners who are already working on the learning tasks (under the motto ‘only consult the theory when needed’)

      The idea of providing this supplemental information as a way to check against their current cognitive models by referring to theory or let theory guide their attempt at a learning task. It doesn't dictate a rigid structure.

    6. Sup-portive information (indicated by the blue L-shaped forms in Figure 1) helps students with performing the non-routine aspects of learning tasks

      Also known as the "theory" of why we do things or how to do something

    7. This feedback stimulates learners to critically compare their own mental models and cognitive strategies with those of others, including experts, teachers and peer learners

      I like that this model includes the idea of feedback and how to trigger thinking and reflection on their own behavior, cognitive models, etc.

      Learning Tasks:

      • aim at integration of (non-recurrent and recurrent) skills.
      • provide authentic, whole-task experiences based on real-life tasks
      • Are organized in simple-to-complex task classes and have diminishing support in each task class (scaffolding).

    1. In fashioning a fine work of art, the artist creatively uses a number of widely accepted design clements ( unity, emphasis, balance, space, shape, color, etc.) . This same principle applies to instructional design. The effective instructional designer considers all the clemenL~ of the process to design a creative instructional approach. A good design goes beyond just effectiveness. It is efncient, engaging, and interesting.

      creativity occurs within a helpful set of constraints, if you do not have constraints you will struggle to be original and creative.

    2. Premise 1: The instructional design process requires attention to both a ~-ystematic procedure and specificity for treating details within the plan.

      the same recursive process might take place where you have an ADDIE model with in an ADDIE model as you get more and more involved into the details.

    3. Where do they come from? For the most part, the responsibility of design falls on individual teachers. Not surprisingly, however, many teachers find them-selves unprepared for the task, and the implementations of the new strategies suffer as a result (Desimone, 2009; Mishra & Koehler, 2006; Niess, 2005). By learning more about instructional design, teachers should become better equipped either to create hig h-quality, smdent-centered lessons or to adapt commercial materials to fit their course needs.

      this is an important aspect, as we set up the courses, the instructors also need to be aware of good practices.

    1. Equity, diversity and inclusion are all on the line with this great responsibility, which is why I believe that implementation of equal opportunity should be worked into the core fabric of the system

      amen

    2. As I mentioned before, although taking into account the statistics and regulations that have been enforced is incredibly vital in describing how seriously institutions need to take accessibility and implementing necessary measures, it is imperative that we think beyond that.

      It's the moral thing to do

    3. nstitutions (as well as parents and communities) should advocate for increased funding so that teachers can be equipped with the resources and strategies to meet the needs of their learners.

      support your teacher's unions

    4. Many of the root causes of these consequences are sociological and systemic which is why the challenge for educational institutions to offer equal opportunities can be complex and therefore needs to be approached in a way that values the lives at the center of the issue

      We gotta shift our way of thinking. It is not the student that is broken or defective. It is the society. We create plenty of tools for able-bodied workers and students all the time. We don't bat an eye about new smartphones, laptops with new features, new software, etc. But when it comes to students with disabilities we, as a society, turn our pockets inside out and go "we don't have the resources".

    5. Dyslexia: The most recognized and best-researched learning issue. Trouble with reading in a number of ways — including trouble sounding out words, rhyming or understanding a text.

      should we look into this a little further? I know there's font specifically made for dyslexic readers.

    6. More than a billion people in the world live with some form of disability, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations living in poverty. According to the World Health Organization, children with disabilities experience lower educational achievements.

      one has to look at the way society is structured. how we treat those seen as less contributive to society. This country has a long and stained history of advocating for eugenics and population control of undesirables. To not see that a prime mover for why we have low educational achievements or people are still stubbornly treating this as something that is very complicated is upsetting.

    7. Although awareness of accessibility in education for those with learning disabilities is growing and widely recognized, implementation has proved to be a challenging endeavor.

    1. Cluster 1–Intensive(19, 6.55%): the most active group representingstudents who undertook a variety of learning strategies, amongwhich strategies 3 (focus on reading materials) and 2 (focus on sum-mative assessment) were the most prominent. This group also repre-sents the students with the highest median values of midterm andfinal exam scores. Considering the high level and diversity of engage-ment of these students, we refer to them as theIntensive group.

      Point to the various clusters that were surmised from the data. Which included intensive studiers, strategic studiers, etc.

    2. ClusteringClustering was used fo

      what was "clustering". the grouping of similar learning sequences of students' learning behavior. The grouping of students into clusters based on their distinct use of learning strategies.

    3. RQ2.What is the association between the identified patterns in stu-dents' learning behavior (i.e. manifestations of the adopted learningstrategies) when preparing for face-to-face sessions in a FL setting andstudent overall course performance?

      once we find identifiable patterns in student's learning behavior, what is their relation to student overall course performance.

    4. This is an expected association since regulation is about monitoringand adapting learning strategies for the purpose of improving the effec-tiveness and/or efficiency of studying

      self-regulation and the implementation of adaptive learning strategies is important for effectiveness when studying

    5. RQ1.Can we detect patterns in student learning behavior that are in-dicative of the learning strategies that students adopted when prepar-ing for face-to-face sessions in a FL setting? If so, what kinds oflearning strategies do the identified patterns suggest?

      Research Question 1 - what patterns can be detected that are indicative of learning strategies in preparation for face-to-face sessions.

    6. 1.3. Analytics for detecting patterns in student behavior

      For analyzing patterns in student behaviors they use previous methods

      They use clustering techniques to detect learner profiles based on the way students interact with and made use of technology and tools offered.

    7. The study relied on student interaction data obtained from the stu-dents' engagement with and completion of the preparatory learning ac-tivities during the active period (weeks 2–13) of the 2014 delivery ofthe course. In particular, the analyses were based on the events data(trace data) collected from the Learning Management System (LMS)

      they used data collected from the LMS.

    8. lecture preparation activities. These activ-ities retained the same structure andflow throughout the course. Theactivities included

      lecture preparation activities were: videos with multiple choice questions for simple factual recall.

      documents with embedded multiple choice questions.

      problem exercise sequences as summative assessments.

    9. two key elements: 1) a setof preparatory online activities to be completed prior to the plenaryface-to-face session with the instructor (i.e., the lecture); and 2)redesigned lecture framed as an active learning session requiring stu-dents' preparation and participation in collaborative problem solvingtasks (Pardo & Mirriahi, 2017).

      preparatory activities to be completed prior to class time session with the instructor. And a lecture frame as an active learning session, requiring student preparation, participation, and collaboration in problem solving tasks.

    10. there is a new opportunity to draw on alternate analytic approaches de-rived from thefields of learning analytics and educational data mining

      approaches this research study by using quantitative data. It uses data mining and learning analytics provided by the LMS and other software.

    11. considering that FL encourages students'sense of autonomy and ownership of learning and is quite different tothe‘traditional’lecture model, it is important to shed some light onhow students approach and manage this new learning setting, andhow they organize and regulate their learning process.

      touches on aspect of autonomous self-directed learnining.

    12. However, students frequently lack thenecessary skills, time, and/or mo-tivation to fully participate in pre-class activities and therefore do notcommit to the level of involvement in the learning process that effec-tively complements the intended design

      claims that students are often unable to fully participate in pre-class activities for a variety of reasons,.

    13. Flipped learning (FL) is a form of blended learning that requires stu-dents' active participation in learning activities both before and duringface-to-face sessions with the teacher

      defines flipped learning as a blended learning approach. It requires active participation in activities before and during face to face sessions with the teacher.

    14. While active learning has clear bene-fits for student learning outcomes, the process of implementation isoften more complex thanfirst anticipated

      acknowledges the complexity of implementing the active learning and flipped classroom model.

    1. 5. Conclusions andFuture Directions

      the study shows the positive effects of flipped classroom and active learning approaches. The study did not include if there were any dropouts during the period of study. The flipped and active learning classroom approach was also found to be rated more favorably by students. It is not enough to provide the course content in advance, according to the study one must also provide active learning opportunities. Activities that also show the relevance of the course material to student career goals.

    2. Four different strategies in the lecture class were designed and incorporated to improve the students’ learning. Using class discussion and working on problems in groups were both very interactive, as the students debated different solutions and approachesto problems. This activity worked especially well for shy students who might be reluctant to ask their questions in class. They felt more comfortable to ask their questions or give their comments while their instructor was circulating in the class.

      interactive activities were incorporated in the class using class discussion and work problems in groups.

    3. 3. Results3.1 Students’ Performance

      student performance was significantly better for exams one and two, but no significant different in exam three. Active Learning, n=32 vs. Non-Active Learning . n=34.

      results include a quantitative data analysis of student scores in three exams.

    4. 1.2 Background

      they provide a definition of the flipped classroom model. The approach is supposed to be more flexibility.

      helps create efficient use of the class time by having student-peer activities, active learning activities, collaboration and discussion sessions.

    5. e see 30-40% drop out and failure rates in this course, similar to national trends (Benford & Gess-Newsome, 2015)

      national drop out trends of 30-40% of students

    6. Human Anatomy and Physiology I (A&P) is a gateway course into healthcare careers in all two and four-year colleges in U.S. This fundamental course builds the foundations for the other higher level courses in any healthcare majors such as Nursing, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Radiology Technician, Paramedics, and Nutrition.

      human anatomy and physiology is a gateway course to healthcare careers.

    7. Exam performance among the students in flipped-classroom and active learning activitiesimproved significantly relative to the control group [Mean ± SD: (76.93±18.33 vs 67.8±18.81), p<0.001

      significance. p<0.001

    8. Therefore, in the present study we compare incorporating flipped classroom and minimal class discussion (control group) with flipped classroom and active learning activities (experimental group) in A&P and their impacts on both students’ exam performance and their satisfaction with the course.

      Quantifiable and qualitative data. The use

      Variables are the nature, flipped or lack thereof, the classroom for each student group

      Quantifiable the results of student's exam performance.

      Qualitative data . the student's satisfaction with the course.

    9. Reports on the effect of integration of flipped classrooms and whether it improves learning are contradictory for different disciplines.

      research that sometimes occurs to create falsifiability when it comes to approaches in the classroom. "flipped classrooms are more successful" only require evidence against it?

      I'm kinda all over the place with this one.

    1. The first step in this process was to evaluate the course content and outline student learn-ing outcomes for each topic based on the philosophy of intentional content usage rather than content coverage (Lujan &DiCarlo, 2006; Hamdan et al., 2013). Learningoutcomes were classified into three categories –factual knowledge, conceptual knowledge, and procedural knowledge

      qualitative information?

    2. Shylaja Akkaraju

      A professor and researcher in CUNY Bronx Community College wrote a comparison between classes that used a traditional learning structure and four semesters of a flipped learning module. As a researcher they used the evidence of student achievement to directly compare methods of learning. The data provided is quantitative as it deals with student scoring in assessments within class. It has some qualitative elements as higher scores in each activity corresponds with learning objectives.

      They use the theoretical framework of threshold concepts and the existence of a pre-liminal, liminal space and post-liminal space, to explain how and why their paper focused on Cardiovascular Physiology.

    3. In future semesters, I will alter the design of the classroom activities to include formative assessments to test conceptual understanding and step up opportunities for self-assessment both inside and out of the classroom

      they offer suggestions for future improvements.

    4. By practicing intentional content rather than merely covering the content, it is possible to lower extrinsic cognitive load

      while the paper cites theoretical articles supporting the idea of cognitive load, germane learning, liminal spaces, there is no explicit process of measuring that. We can only use the evidence provided in the paper and this theoretical framework around which he frames the explanation.

    5. Formative assessment

      occur after the student is presented with pre-training learning modules. It allows them to reinforce the concepts from working memory to long term memory

    6. The flipped learning approach has a direct positive impact on student motivation, partici-pation, preparedness, confidence, and performance. For the instructor, the flipped learn-ing approach can save time that can be used for deeper conceptual understanding and ap-plication

      providing evidence of improvement and success using the flipped learning approach is good for the research foundation and its continued exploration of the topic.

    7. The difference was that in the flipped learning model, students were given the opportunity for pre-training followed by retrieval practice and more class time was devoted to student centered learning activi-ties.

      allowing for accessing of content before the in-class lesson and more time devoted to student-centered learning.

    8. report the effectiveness of the flipped learning method in the lecture portion of the course, and for the topic of cardiovascular physiology, in partic-ular. As a comparisonof general student performance, I present data from four consecu-tive semesters prior to the flipped learning approach. These lecture class sizes were also between 18-24 students with a total of 92 students

      Four semesters of flipped classroom activity and four semesters of pre-flipped approach as comparison.

    9. A learner that is in the process of mastering the threshold concept is said be undergoinga threshold experience, which occurs within a liminal spaceor learning environment.

      discussion of concepts and theory on cognitive load and learning. Liminal space.

    10. A threshold concept is defined as a challenging concept that can be troublesome, trans-formational, and integrative to the learner (Meyer &Land, 2003). The concept is trou-blesome because it is conceptually difficult, alien, or tacit (Meyer,Land, & Baillie,2010).

    1. An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.

      150 words or more for the summary.

    1. M2 Theory & Scholarship

      theory

      • records in the literature of a field
      • summaries that become authoritative
      • a map to show what is known and can be further explored
      • where new research is needed
      • shared perspective and common vocabulary
      • theory is one of the keys to good practice.
    1. Baddeley (1986) conducted a long series of studies on human memory and information processing. Others, including Nelson Cowan (2001), folllowed in his footsteps. The research now shows that the “magical” number is four.

      lmao what.

    2. Psychologist Alan Baddeley questioned the seven plus or minus two rule. Baddeley (1994) dug up Miller’s paper and discovered that it wasn’t a paper describing actual research; it was a talk that Miller gave at a professional meeting. And it was basically Miller thinking out loud about whether there is some kind of inherent limit to the amount of information that people can process at a time.

      lmao what.

    3. What is interesting, though, is that working memory can be tested; then, if the child’s score is low, the results can be used to plan an intervention.

      how do you improve your working memory?

    1. Figure 15.2 shows different decorative fonts. The first font is relatively easy to read; the others become progressively more difficult. They make it hard for the brain to recognize the patterns of the letters.

      don't use decovarity fonts/typography

    2. If you’re not a biologist, then it might take you a long time to understand what that paragraph says. You can read the paragraph, but that doesn’t mean you understand it. New information is assimilated more thoroughly when it is plugged into existing cognitive structures.

      new terms, definitions, sequential content, etc. need to be part of the writing.

    3. We use peripheral vision when we read

      relevant to what we had learned the previous chapter. The use of peripheral vision is crucial to getting a full picture of what's going on in a scene.

    4. Our eyes look forward during most of the saccades, but they look backward 10 to 15 percent of the time, rereading letters and words.

      when you get distracted or tired you will just find yourself re-reading the same text or portion of the page/book over and over again.

    1. 3. "Teach students how to request permission." Students should know how to find the owner of a copyrighted work and how to ask permission to use that work. The sites below provide templates for writing permission-request letters and resources for finding the creators of copyrighted works when the information isn't readily available.

    2. 2. "Teach students to request permission when in doubt about the status of a particular work or the appropriateness of their use of that work." Students should understand that the materials they want to use are probably protected by copyright; that the creator owns copyrighted wor

      this should be handled in conjunction with an early research phase and having a back up plan.

    3. 1. "Help students learn about the value of created works and develop respect for the creators by discussing the importance of such works on the advancement of society." Students should understand that copyright law is designed to protect the financial interests of those who create original work;

      so I see the point of this to some extent, but can we talk about how society as a whole treats copyright laws? Why do multibillion dollar corporations get to skirt the law at any time, but school districts trying to get by are at the humongous risk of lawsuits.

    4. Establish a process to ensure that all materials on the district Web site are closely evaluated. Provide professional development for teachers and instruction to students about defamation, invasion of privacy, harassment, and copyright law. Include an immunity provision in the policy. Take prompt action if accusations are made. Be prepared to stand up for staff or students if false accusations are made.

      steps to reduce their liability.

    5. Willard also suggests that federal legislation is needed to provide schools with immunity from financial damages in the event infringing material is posted on the school Web site. "I made a recommendation for such legislation in my testimony to the Web-based Education Commission,"

      honestly, protecting tax payers from copyright trolls should be a thing.

    6. "School districts are liable for any copyright violations committed by their staff, and the area with the greatest potential for liability is the district's public Web site," Nancy Willard agreed. "The Digital Millennium Copyright Act provides interactive service providers with an exemption from monetary damages for copyright infringement but only if the provider is not directly involved with the placement of the material.

    7. "The unfortunate result of the situation is that teachers are in an incongruent position of trying to push the limits of the fair use exception at the same time that they have an obligation to teach students about respect for copyright law."

      The inherent contradictions in a system where information has to be free while simultaneously cannot.

      • Understand the benefits and drawbacks of specific learning strategies
      • Learn basic design principles
      • Understand your legal responsibilities concerning use of intellectual property (Copyright)
    1. Develop collaborative efforts with other teachers to create and disseminate public domain materials for educational use.

      create community of learning for creating learning material

    2. Use public domain resources whenever possible. Materials created by the federal government are all in the public domain, and many public agencies have created educational materials.

    3. In 1981, a congressional subcommittee developed guidelines for off-air taping of television and radio broadcasts for educational use. Those guidelines allow educators to tape a radio or television broadcast for instructional (not entertainment) use if the program is recorded simultaneously with the broadcast. the program is being broadcast without charge. the program is recorded only in response to a specific request. the program is recorded (but not necessarily used) in its entirety. the program is not altered. the tape is retained by the educational institution for no longer that 45 days after the date of the recording. the tape is used only once with each class during the first ten consecutive school days of the 45-day retention period. the tape is used from the tenth to the 45th day of the retention period for teacher-evaluation purposes only.

    4. The guidelines developed in 1976 for the educational use of music include the following: Multiple copies of sheet music may be copied in an emergency (for an imminent performance) to replace purchased copies that are not available, provided purchased replacement copies are substituted as soon as possible. For academic purposes other than performance, multiple copies of excerpts of works may be made, provided the excerpts don't include more than 10 percent of the whole work or make up a part of the whole that would constitute a performable unit, such as a section, a movement, or an aria. The number of copies may not exceed one copy per student. For academic purposes other than performance, a single copy of an entire performable unit (section, movement, aria, etc.) may be made if the unit is out of print or available only in a larger work. Sheet music that has been purchased may be edited or simplified if the fundamental character of the work is not distorted and that lyrics are not altered or added. A single copy of a sound recording of a student performance may be made for evaluation or rehearsal purposes and may be retained by the educational institution or individual teacher. A single copy of a sound recording of copyrighted music may be made from sound recordings owned by an educational institution or an individual teacher for the purpose of constructing aural exercises or examinations and may be retained by the educational institution or individual teacher. Copying to create, replace, or substitute for anthologies, compilations, or collective works; copying works intended to be consumable, such as workbooks, exercises, or standardized tests; copying for the purpose of performance (except in an emergency); copying as a substitute for purchase; and copying without the inclusion of the copyright notice are not permitted.

    5. The guidelines do not allow users to make multiple copies of different works as a substitute for the purchase of books or periodicals copy the same works for more than one semester, class, or course copy the same work more than nine times in a single semester use copyrighted work for commercial purposes use copyrighted work without attributing the author.
