| Audience |
| |
EnhanceTV is primarily a service for educators in Australia, although anyone can download the free material. Almost all Australian schools, tertiary institutions and TAFEs have a Screenrights licence, enabling them to copy and communicate television and radio broadcasts for their educational purposes.
Whilst much of the content accessible on EnhanceTV is relevant to Australian school students, the site is aimed at educators and teachers from a range of educational institutions. Some of the material included on EnhanceTV will be suited to students of higher education and therefore may not be appropriate for or relevant to school age students. We suggest that material obtained through EnhanceTV be reviewed prior to using it in the classroom or educational setting. We also recommend that a teacher supervise all use of EnhanceTV by students. |

| Content Selection & Placement |
| |
| The EnhanceTV editor determines content placement by educational value and relevance to Australian educational curricula. Film and television titles are deemed educational if they have relevance to Australian or New Zealand educational curricula and comply with the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification Standards. The Editor endeavours to consider all material supplied by content and data providers for possible inclusion in EnhanceTV. However, film and television content providers, may nominate a resource or film and television title for our consideration. Editorial decisions comply with the stated purposes of EnhanceTV. |
