Selling online courses

Hi Tamara,

I don't know that there is a way to fully prevent a client from doing as they wish with your files. If it's uploaded into their LMS, I suspect that is where your control over anything would end. I'd advise them that making changes to the published output is not something that you'd be able to offer support for, nor is it something that Articulate can support as it can have unintended consequences. 

Thanks Ashley! Your advice makes sense. I would not know in fact about the ability to make changes if I did not research about creating a printout certificate at some point...

No problem Tamara - and maybe they just won't research? ;) 

Hi, I know this post is over a year old, but I'm interested in it as I'm new to this side of elearning. In the above case, could you stipulate that as part of a client purchasing your course, they are not permitted to change or modify certain parts and remarket it as their own creation?  Or would that be a deal-breaker for the client? I understand that certain types of content must be updated and modified as the times change, but that's a different story from a client taking a course they purchased from you, modifying it, and then claiming it as their own (and possibly reselling it).

HI Rick,

It is a bit older, and just in case folks aren't subscribed here you could always use the "contact me" button on a ELH users' profile to reach out to them directly!

Best of luck with your courses and also you may want to look at reaching out in the Building Better Courses side of ELH and see if there is anyone who can help! That side tends to focus more on design and how to - but there may be folks who could help you with these Freelance questions!
