    The TEACH Act was specifically designed to address the use of copyrighted materials in distance education. It provides guidelines and exceptions for educators to use copyrighted materials in online courses and virtual classrooms, ensuring that both students and teachers have access to necessary resources while still respecting copyright laws.

    Explanation
    The TEACH Act, which stands for Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization Act, provides certain exemptions for the use of copyrighted materials in online education. One of the requirements under the TEACH Act is that teachers do not have to be online while students are downloading copyrighted material. This means that teachers can make the material available for students to access at their own convenience without the need for direct supervision during the downloading process.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Nondramatic displays, literary and musical works, and limited portions of dramatic works." The TEACH Act provides certain exceptions to copyright law for the use of copyrighted works in distance education. Under the TEACH Act, educators are allowed to display and perform nondramatic literary, musical, and visual works in an online classroom.

    Explanation
    The TEACH Act does not apply to materials created by educational publishers specifically for distance education because these materials are already covered under the Act's provisions.
