Use of Articulate Content in Course Handouts and Course Advertising?

I have read the Terms of Service.  I know I can include images from the Content Library in my technical presentations.  But I have questions about being able to use them in other course related circumstances.  First, can I provide students taking the course with a printed or electronic copy of the course slides, which contain material from the Content Library?  Second, to attract students and/or course sponsors I need to show them a preview of what the course contains.  Therefore, can I include images from my slides, which again include material from the Content Library, in advertising my course on the web or otherwise?  Can I send an electronic or hard copy of all, or some, of the slides to a potential course sponsor?  I appreciate any guidance you can provide.

  • Hi Theodore, Good questions! For your first question, you can provide printed or electronic versions of your slides as a handout. For your second question, it really depends on the use. The images within slides are not meant to be used in regular advertisements; for example, someone couldn't screenshot a slide with Content Library 360 content and put that on a billboard. However, if a person used a slide with an image, screenshot it, and used it to say, "Come to my lecture on X subject, here's the opening slide [with Articulate Content]," that'd be ok. We can't provide you with individualized legal advice on our terms based on your use case, but we can provide examples to illustrate how our terms may work practically. I hope that helps.
