Student responsibility
Before using the platform, students must accept Terms & Conditions confirming they will not upload copyrighted material they are not entitled to use. Responsibility and liability for uploaded content rest with the student.Upload guardrails
We build in several safeguards to help students make informed and ethical decisions:Guardrail | What it does |
|---|---|
Upload confirmation prompt | When set-up, students are asked to confirm they are permitted to upload the resources. |
Custom disclaimers | Institutions can create their own upload disclaimers and consent statements, co-authored with us, setting out acceptable use and copyright responsibilities. |
Direction to approved sources | Students are pointed towards approved and open-source materials, and encouraged to create their own notes. |
Partner slide deck | Information slides shared with partners includes a dedicated copyright section covering best practices and guides. |
Recommended reading sources
Rather than uploading copyrighted texts, students can draw on open-source and openly licensed material. We can help you assemble recommended reading and upload resource lists from open-content platforms, and integrate with a wide range of these directly so students have compliant material to work from. Uploads are always handled in line with existing licences and agreements.Publisher blacklisting and upload restrictions
Guardrail | What it does |
|---|---|
Publisher blacklisting | Specific publishers or content can be blacklisted at your request so they cannot be uploaded. |
LMS-only uploads | Upon request, institutions can disable all uploads that do not originate from your LMS (e.g. a Canvas-only restriction), although not recommended to all partners. |
