The Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization (TEACH) Act was enacted in November 2002 as an amendment to the Copyright Act of 1976.  The act clarifies what is permissible in distance education, making it more similar to a face-to-face classroom.

TEACH Act exemptions allow the use of copyrighted material for distance education.
