Distance Education: This booklet was created before the TEACH Act was passed into law. The TEACH Act revised the copyright law pertaining to distance education and so while many of the concepts in the booklet are still relevant, much of the discussion concerning the application of the law is no longer germane. For more information concerning the TEACH Act, please visit the CMC Copyright and Distance Education
