Rules & Submission Guidelines
RULES & ELIGIBILITY:
- Each Masters level program in Student Affairs Administration, Counseling, or Higher Education will be allowed to enter as many three or four-person teams as wish to compete.
- Each team member must be currently enrolled in a Masters level program in Student Affairs Administration, Counseling, or Higher Education and will be enrolled for the Spring 2010 term for a minimum of six credits.
- Team members must be from the same graduate program. There cannot be team members from different graduate programs on the same team.
- Non-team members act as long as they are not participating in the creative process of putting the video together.
- The case study will focus on some aspect of technology and its relation to student affairs.
- Teams should utilize relevant student affairs literature, where appropriate, for their presentation.
- By participating, each team agrees to allow their presentation to appear in the Spring 2010 edition of the StudentAffairs.com e-journal, Student Affairs Online.
SUBMISSIONS:
- Teams need to submit two, 1-4 minute videos.
- Details about the content of the case study along with instructions on submitting the video entires will be emailed to each team.
- Videos will be judged in two categories — Most Creative & Most Educational.
- Video may not contain inappropriate content.
- Entry must adhere to all applicable copyright laws (including for the use of music, images, etc).*
- Videos will be uploaded directly to YouTube.com and must be compatible with their viewing guidelines. Please make sure to read their Terms of Service. Information on uploading videos to YouTube.com can be found at "Getting Started: How to upload".
*In regards to "fair use" the music should not be used for a substantial part of the video and should not be a substantial portion of the copyrighted material. For example, a 60 second clip of a 2 1/2 minute song could be interpreted as being a substantial portion of the song. However, a 30 second clip from a four minute song is not.
According to the website, , "The distinction between “fair use” and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined. There is no specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission." So "fair use" is open to interpretation. My main direction would be less is more.
