Copyright
Hello,
I want to use a concept similar to "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" for an online quiz, but am concerned that I could be infringing on copyrights etc. Has anyone done something similar and...
Hello Everyone,
I also have a copyright question. I downloaded one of the eLearning templates and changed it to fit a Great Lakes Conservation eLearning program that I am developing in Rise for the Master Naturalist Program. I made changes in Storyline and then published it to 360 and then uploaded it to Rise. How do I give credit for the original person who created it? I changed everything except the sound. It was star wars themed and I changed it to a charged fishing pole. ;-) Please let me know. Thanks!
Great question, Wendy! Are you referring to the templates in our Downloads hub? If so, crediting isn't necessary, but if you'd like to attribute you can link to the page. You'll also find the specifics about downloadable assets in our Terms of Use here, and here's the relevant piece for you:
(a) Downloadable Assets. An example of a downloadable asset is a PowerPoint template that Articulate provides. You will have a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, terminable right to use, reproduce, display, and distribute downloadable assets in a commercial work (including the right to showcase it as part of your portfolio). All other rights are reserved. Accordingly, you may not distribute, modify, or host downloadable assets as your own content (or permit any third party to do so).
Simply put, you can use the templates in your course creation, you can't resell the templates as your own work.
Thanks, Sarah!
I found the template in eLearning heroes, and I was able to download it. I think it might have been either in the hub or in the eLearning Heroes challenges. I was going to put in the reference Articulate eLearning Heroes and then provide the link.
