When adding copyrighted material to an LMS (such as Canvas or Blackboard), ensure you have completed a thorough Fair Use review using the Fair Use Checklist. Retain a copy of your completed checklist for your records. If you deem the material an appropriate Fair Use, adding the work to the course on the LMS is a good option. Ensure the LMS class section is only available to students enrolled in the course and expires at the end of the class before adding the material to the LMS.
