ctYOU.org Course Developer Agreement

As a teacher or staff member who sets up and maintains a course site, I understand that:

• I am responsible for backing up (using the Moodle course backup tool) the course's "gradebook" (student database) onto my PC's hard drive, or other electronic media. I understand that should back up the gradebook after administering each major test and at the conclusion of the class.
• I am responsible for "resetting" the course (cleaning student data out), and then making and saving a clean copy of the course at each course session.
• I am responsible for obtaining permission to use all copyrighted materials in my ctYOU.org course, and I agree to pay for the use of such materials, if necessary.
• I will ensure my course content complies with current accessibility requirements, including posting transcripts of audio and video files and SCORM packets.
• Posting copyrighted materials on this or any other server without written permission, even if it is hidden from public view and for my own personal use, violates copyright laws.
• CIMC curriculum materials are copyrighted and may not be shared or redistributed on ctYOU.org or by any other means to other teachers without written permission.
• I understand ctYOU.org cannot stream video. I will not save video files to my courses. Instead, I will post videos to a streaming service, such as YouTube, and then link to them.
• If I need to post large files, such as large PowerPoints or SCORM packages, I will first notify ctYOU.org support staff.
• I will inform students they need to remove and/or save files they uploaded to ctYOU.org within one week after the completion of their course.
• I will inform my students they must practice good online citizenship or risk having their user rights revoked.
• I understand that course sites are for educational or training purposes only and should not be used for profit.
• I understand that course sites showing no activity within an 18-month period will be considered abandoned and may be deleted from the server.
• I understand that users who have not logged in for more than 18 months are periodically removed from ctYOU.org and associated data may be lost.
