I want to put an image on my class Website or blog. What do I need to do?
Follow these steps:
- Confirm that the course Web site or blog is educational and non-commercial.
- Search for an image that is in the public domain or has a license for reuse. Creative Commons Searchis a good place to begin. If you find an image, go to step 6.
- If you can't find a licensed or public domain image, do a fair use analysis for the image you want to use. (Is the Web site open to the public? The answer will affect your determination.)
- If you determine that your use is fair, go to step 6.
- If your use is not fair, request permission from the copyright owner. After you receive permission, proceed to step 6.
- Add the image to your course Web site. Be sure to include the appropriate credit.
