Before, during & after the pandemic: challenges in accessing & using media in academic settings

Abstract

An online panel presentation at the 2022 ABC Copyright Conference hosted by Western University. Teaching online using copyrighted films and other media has posed significant challenges for educational institutions for many years. Those challenges continued, if not intensified, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and will certainly persist into at least the near future. This session outlines recent initiatives undertaken collaboratively by film studies faculty, copyright practitioners, and academic librarians to find ways to alleviate or remedy obstacles to equitable use of media in educational settings.
