It doesn't seem like technical issues are the reason Quizizz no longer allows you to create quizzes on YouTube
Recently, Quizizz has limited the ability to create quizzes using YouTube videos. It is important to note that the reason for this change may not be a simple technical issue. In this article, we will look at Quizizz’s change, the status of other edtech platforms, and the impact of this change on the industry.
Looking at Quizizz's recent changes, it seems more likely that other factors than technical issues were at play:
1.
AI Quiz Creation Restrictions : When you try to create an AI quiz with a YouTube video, you will see the message "Cannot generate questions. Generate with AI only works for videos owned by you."
2.
AI Certification Exam Changes : As of July 15, 2023, YouTube content has also been removed from the Quizizz AI Certification exam. This suggests that Quizizz may be completely revisiting its YouTube-related features.
3.
Owned content-centric : Currently, AI quiz generation is only possible for videos that users own.
This change appears to be a cautious approach by Quizizz to copyright issues, as it may have decided that creating quizzes using YouTube videos could potentially infringe copyright.
Quizizz's future direction
It is still unclear whether this change by Quizizz is temporary or a long-term policy change. Possible scenarios going forward include:
1.
Maintain Current Policy : We can continue our current policy of only allowing quiz creation based on user-owned videos.
2.
Restore functionality : We have found a solution to the copyright issue so that we can allow quiz creation for all YouTube videos like before.
3.
Partial Restoration : You can take an intermediate approach that only allows quiz creation for YouTube videos that meet certain conditions.
This decision by Quizizz could have major implications for the edtech industry as a whole, so it's worth keeping a close eye on any future developments.
Current status of other edtech platforms
Interestingly, not all edtech platforms are taking the same approach as Quizizz:
Brisk Teaching, Magic School AI : These platforms still offer content generation capabilities using external content.
Different Approaches : Each company appears to be taking a different approach, depending on their interpretation of the law and their risk assessment.
This suggests that there is still no unified approach to copyright issues within the edtech industry.
Educational Use and Copyright
When using content for educational purposes, especially when creating captions, the following points should be considered:
1.
Fair Use : Adding captions to copyrighted material for educational purposes is generally considered fair use.
2.
Do not redistribute original video : It is okay to create subtitles, but please avoid redistributing or publicly uploading videos with added subtitles.
3.
Transformative Use : Adding captions for educational purposes can be seen as transforming the purpose of the original content, creating new value.
4.
Accessibility vs. Copyright : There may be conflicts between accessibility laws and copyright laws, but accessibility generally takes precedence.
EdTech companies' response measures
To address copyright issues, edtech companies are adopting a variety of strategies:
1.
Strengthening own content production
2.
Signing a license agreement
3.
Content creation using AI technology
4.
Leverage open source and creative commons content
5.
Enable User Generated Content (UGC)
6.
Providing copyright education and guidelines
7.
Assess legal risks and maintain limited functionality
Future outlook
1.
Policy Uncertainty : It is still unclear whether Quizizz’s current restrictions are a temporary measure or a permanent policy change.
2.
Setting an Industry Standard : This move by Quizizz has the potential to set a new standard in the edtech industry.
3.
Developing new features : New features may be developed to provide an effective learning experience while avoiding copyright issues.
4.
Legal and institutional changes : New copyright guidelines or laws may be developed that take into account the characteristics of the edtech industry.
5.
Emergence of global standards : Internationally accepted standards for using and sharing edtech content may be developed.
Conclusion
Quizizz’s recent changes appear to reflect more than just a technical issue, but rather complex legal and ethical considerations surrounding copyright, and are an example of a major challenge facing the entire edtech industry.
It will be interesting to see what Quizizz decides in the future and how that will affect the industry. Will they maintain their current restrictive approach, allow quizzes to be created for all YouTube videos as before, or take a new, middle-of-the-road approach?
Edtech companies will need to find a balanced approach that respects copyright while improving the quality and accessibility of education. This means moving towards providing a better educational experience through innovative solutions, rather than simply imposing restrictions.
The future course of Quizizz and other edtech platforms will be important milestones that will determine the future of the industry. In this changing environment, finding a win-win solution for educators, learners, and content creators will be the challenge going forward.

Fair use(공정 이용)는 저작권법에서 인정하는 중요한 예외 조항으로, 저작권 소유자의 허가 없이 저작물을 제한적으로 사용할 수 있도록 하는 개념입니다. 주요 특징은 다음과 같습니다:
1.
목적:
비평, 논평, 뉴스 보도, 교육, 학문 연구 등의 목적으로 사용될 때 공정 이용으로 인정될 가능성이 높습니다.
2.
판단 기준: 미국 저작권법 107조에 명시된 4가지 요소를 고려하여 판단합니다:
사용의 목적과 성격 (상업적 vs. 비영리 교육적)
저작물의 성격
사용된 부분의 양과 중요성
잠재적 시장이나 가치에 미치는 영향
3.
사례별 판단:
명확한 기준이 없어 각 사례마다 개별적으로 판단합니다.
법원에서 최종적으로 결정하게 됩니다.
4.
변형적 사용:
원작에 새로운 의미나 표현을 더하는 '변형적 사용'일 경우 공정 이용으로 인정될 가능성이 높습니다.
5.
교육적 사용:
교육 목적의 사용이 항상 공정 이용으로 인정되는 것은 아니며, 다른 요소들도 함께 고려됩니다.
6.
디지털 환경:
온라인 환경에서도 공정 이용 원칙이 적용되지만, 새로운 기술로 인한 복잡한 문제들이 발생하고 있습니다.
7.
국가별 차이:
미국의 'fair use'와 유사하지만, 다른 국가들은 'fair dealing' 등 약간 다른 개념을 사용하기도 합니다.
공정 이용은 저작권자의 권리와 공익 사이의 균형을 위한 중요한 개념이지만, 그 적용에 있어 주의가 필요합니다. 특히 교육자나 연구자들은 저작물 사용 시 공정 이용 원칙을 잘 이해하고 적용해야 합니다.
