Special Obligations for Teaching Staff and Managers

In HEROES Moodle, certain student-related data is assigned to registered students. If students deregister from the system or if they are deleted from the Central Identity Management system, ergo and thus also from the HEROES Moodle database, for example, due to deregistration, certain student-related data will be lost. In accordance with the prescribed storage period of two years, examination results will be stored in HEROES Moodle. The storage period begins at the end of the calendar year in which students are informed of the results of each module examination.

Handling Copyright

Material and/or components such as course material, master documents, excerpts from other works, images, etc. that are used in a HEROES Moodle course and/or are generated explicitly for a course room may not, as a rule, be used outside of the course room and/or forwarded to third parties.

This especially applies to teaching and learning material generated by course instructors and to copyrighted contributions that have been made within the course of a HEROES Moodle course by participants individually or together.

Transfer to third parties and/or use outside of this HEROES Moodle platform of the HEROES Alliance is explicitly only permitted with the written permission of the originator. However, all users explicitly declare that they agree that all content posted by them personally, regardless of whether or not said content is subject to copyright laws, may be used for the purposes of the course.

The HEROES Alliance reserves the right to definitively delete courses and all content contained within them at the earliest 2 years after the examination date at the end of the calendar year.
