If use is Fair Use, then it may be used without permission. If a use is not Fair Use, permission must be obtained. Please note that not all educational use is automatically Fair Use. The Four Factor test must be applied to each use of a work and is applied to any medium.
The Four Factors:
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work
For more information, see Title 17 of the U.S. Code, Section 107 Limitations of Exclusive Rights: Fair Use
