You can show a television show or news report in class while it's being broadcast if it's important to the lecture and is being broadcast at the same time.
Keep in mind, this privilege does not extend to home cable TV "on demand" subscription services which have licenses that set out the terms and conditions of use. iTunes, Netflix**, Crave, etc. cannot be used in class due to licensing restrictions.
Netflix Educational Screening Exception**
January 2020: Netflix is now allowing a small number of its titles to be shown in educational settings. Note that they do not allow any and all Netflix titles to be shown in the classroom, only some selected documentaries.
Permitted titles contain the words "Grant of Permission for Educational Screenings" or "Educational Screenings Permission (ESP)" in their descriptions on media.netflix.com.
Please see this Netflix post for further information.
If you need to show televised material in class, consider using the video content that we have through our licensed video databases:
These databases include documentaries, educational programs, and feature films, and content from all of these may be shown in class at any time and linked to within the Blackboard platform.
