Copyright & Content Licensing

Responsible Use of Learning Materials, Intellectual Property, Third-Party Content, and Learner Work

Thoth.School respects intellectual property rights and expects learners, staff, instructors, partners, and contributors to use course materials, third-party content, provider names, AI-generated content, and learner submissions responsibly.


Purpose of This Page

This page explains Thoth.School’s approach to copyright, content licensing, course materials, third-party resources, learner submissions, provider names, trademarks, AI-assisted content, and responsible reuse of educational materials.

Copyright and content licensing are connected to academic integrity, provider-status accuracy, responsible AI use, learner submissions, course development, public information, and respectful participation in online learning.

Ownership of Thoth.School Content

Unless otherwise stated, learning materials, public page content, course structures, pathway descriptions, policy text, templates, graphics, internal frameworks, platform materials, and instructional resources created for Thoth.School are owned or controlled by InformaServ Inc. or used under applicable permission or license.

Learners and visitors may access Thoth.School content for personal learning or permitted course participation. Access to content does not transfer ownership, copyright, trademark rights, platform rights, or reuse rights.

Permitted Use of Learning Materials

Learners may use Thoth.School learning materials for their own enrolled learning, study, assignment preparation, revision, and approved course participation.

Learners may not copy, resell, republish, redistribute, upload, share, modify, scrape, reproduce, or commercially exploit Thoth.School course materials unless written permission has been granted or the material clearly states that such use is permitted.

Course Materials and Downloadable Resources

Some courses may include downloadable files, worksheets, presentations, handouts, templates, sample code, diagrams, images, videos, quizzes, or project resources. These materials are provided for authorized learning use only unless stated otherwise.

Learners should not upload Thoth.School materials to public websites, file-sharing services, social media, external repositories, commercial platforms, or other learning systems without permission.

Third-Party Content

Courses or public pages may refer to third-party materials, websites, tools, platforms, standards, syllabuses, textbooks, documentation, videos, articles, images, code examples, or other resources. Third-party content remains owned by its respective owners.

Use of third-party content must follow the relevant copyright, license, terms of use, citation requirements, fair-use limitations, educational-use rules, or permissions that apply to that content.

External Provider Names, Logos, and Trademarks

External provider names, qualification names, certification names, platform names, product names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Thoth.School may refer to providers, technologies, syllabuses, platforms, or certifications for identification, descriptive, educational, or pathway-explanation purposes.

Such references do not imply approval, accreditation, authorization, endorsement, affiliation, partnership, examination-center status, certification-provider status, reseller status, or training-partner status unless such status has been formally granted and clearly stated.

Learner Submissions and Student Work

Learners normally retain ownership of their original work, subject to any course rules, platform terms, provider requirements, or agreements that apply. Learner submissions may include assignments, projects, code, written responses, presentations, reflections, files, or portfolio artifacts.

By submitting work to Thoth.School, learners allow the academy to review, assess, provide feedback, retain records, support academic integrity review, respond to complaints, and use the work for legitimate educational and operational purposes connected to the course.

Use of Learner Work for Examples or Promotion

Thoth.School should not publicly display, publish, promote, or reuse identifiable learner work outside ordinary learning, feedback, assessment, quality review, or operational purposes without appropriate permission.

Extra care is required for school-age learners. Parent/guardian permission may be required before identifiable learner work, images, names, project details, or achievements are used publicly.

Citation and Attribution

Learners should give proper credit when using sources, ideas, quotations, images, code, data, examples, or external materials. Citation expectations may vary by course, learner level, and assignment type.

Copying another person’s work without proper acknowledgment may violate academic integrity rules and may also raise copyright concerns.

Use of Code, Open-Source Materials, and Templates

Technology courses may involve code examples, libraries, open-source resources, templates, or sample projects. Learners should follow the licenses and usage rules that apply to those materials.

Learners should not assume that publicly available code, images, text, or templates are free to copy, resell, publish, or submit as their own work. Open-source materials may still have license conditions.

AI-Generated and AI-Assisted Content

AI tools may generate text, code, images, summaries, study notes, explanations, or other content. Learners and staff should treat AI-generated content carefully because it may contain errors, copied patterns, misleading claims, privacy risks, licensing uncertainty, or material that requires verification.

Learners must follow course rules about AI use, disclosure, citation, authorship, and academic integrity. AI-assisted work should not be submitted dishonestly as fully independent learner work when disclosure or original work is required.

Copyright and Academic Integrity

Copyright compliance and academic integrity are connected. Learners should not copy text, code, images, answers, project files, videos, diagrams, or other materials without permission or proper attribution.

Learners should also avoid using unauthorized solution sites, file-sharing groups, paid answer services, copied assignments, or AI-generated submissions that misrepresent their own learning.

Content Created by Staff, Instructors, and Contributors

Staff, instructors, contractors, contributors, and partners who create content for Thoth.School may be subject to separate agreements, ownership terms, licensing terms, confidentiality expectations, or work-product rules.

Content created for Thoth.School should not include third-party material unless the creator has appropriate permission, license, citation, or educational-use justification.

Images, Videos, Recordings, and Screenshots

Learners and staff should not record, screenshot, publish, or share online sessions, course materials, learner work, private messages, staff communication, or platform content unless permitted by course rules and privacy expectations.

Extra care is required when school-age learners are involved. Images, recordings, names, voices, or identifiable learner information should not be shared publicly without appropriate permission.

External Links and Resources

Thoth.School may link to external resources for educational or informational purposes. External links do not mean that Thoth.School owns, controls, endorses, guarantees, or is responsible for the external content.

Learners and parents/guardians should review external sites carefully, especially where account creation, downloads, payment, personal information, AI tools, cloud tools, or third-party platforms are involved.

Copyright Concerns and Takedown Requests

If a copyright owner, learner, parent, guardian, staff member, provider, or stakeholder believes that content on Thoth.School improperly uses protected material, they should contact Thoth.School with enough information to identify and review the concern.

Useful information may include the page or course involved, the content at issue, the claimed ownership or license basis, evidence of ownership where appropriate, and the requested correction or removal.

Provider and Certification Materials

External providers may have their own rules for using syllabuses, past papers, textbooks, certification guides, logos, sample exams, documentation, training materials, and practice questions. Thoth.School will aim to respect such rules when developing or referencing learning pathways.

Learners should not assume that provider materials may be copied, redistributed, uploaded, or reused outside the provider’s permitted terms.

Policy Violations

Misuse of content, unauthorized redistribution, plagiarism, copyright infringement, improper sharing of course resources, misuse of learner work, or misleading use of provider names may result in review and appropriate action.

Actions may include correction, removal of content, learner guidance, academic integrity review, access restriction, complaint handling, safeguarding review, or other proportionate steps.

Commitment to Responsible Content Use

Thoth.School is committed to responsible creation, use, protection, and licensing of learning materials. Respect for intellectual property supports academic honesty, provider-status accuracy, learner trust, and institutional credibility.

Learners, parents, guardians, staff, instructors, contributors, and partners share responsibility for using educational content lawfully, ethically, and respectfully.
