WHAT DO I DO IF I AM USING MULTIMEDIA IN THE CLASSROOM?

Georgetown University faculty, students, and staff are increasingly involved in the creation of multimedia projects, including web pages. This usually includes the use of more than one medium, such as the incorporation of sound, video clips, and text, into the final product.

The rules governing the screening of copyrighted films or videotapes are the same as those governing any other copyrighted performance. A properly purchased or rented videotape or DVD may be used in a classroom setting in conjunction with face-to-face instruction. Care should be taken to comply with any special terms in the rental agreement.
