Am I allowed to copy fair dealing amounts from more than one edition of the same textbook?


No, this is not allowed. 

Although each textbook edition is its own copyright protected work, the differences between the editions are often marginal. This doesn't justify copying allowable amounts from multiple editions of the same textbook in the same course in the same semester. 

For example: You cannot copy chapter 3 from the 2nd edition and chapter 4 from the 3rd edition, and make those available to your students.
