To Download Agreement TeachAids 516 High Street Palo Alto, California 94301 +1 408 462 2437 [email protected] RE: Partnership Engagement Agreement To Whom it May Concern, As part of its mission to develop high quality health education materials and disseminate them freely throughout the world, TeachAids has prepared this standard Partnership Engagement Agreement, for the benefit of its partners, to provide greater detail about TeachAids, its educational materials (which include but are not limited to any relevant research, software, services, processes, designs, marketing materials, and business plans or proposals) (the “Products”), and its policies governing their usage. We would be pleased to discuss any aspect of this document with you in greater detail, and encourage you to contact us with any questions that you may have concerning it. We very much look forward to working together with you to promote health education (the “Purpose”). About TeachAids TeachAids is an award-winning 501(c)(3) social venture that aims to create breakthrough technology to solve persistent problems in health education around the world. Spun out of Stanford University in 2009, TeachAids has grown into a collaborative consortium of world-class experts from disciplines across Stanford University and beyond. Experts span areas including education, medicine, communications, technology, and design thinking. The research behind the TeachAids Products is based on Stanford University’s Institutional Review Board. TeachAids Products are presently in use in more than 80 countries around the world including South Africa, Rwanda, China, India, Canada, and the United States. The Use of TeachAids Products Although the TeachAids Products are made available at no cost to end users — in the interest of achieving the widest possible distribution of, and thus benefit from, the materials — use of the Products is subject to a few standard policies: 1. The Products have been and are being developed at considerable time and expense, and represent the intellectual property of TeachAids. In all circumstances, TeachAids retains all intellectual property rights over the Products. This includes all rights over any derivations, variations, improvements, localizations or any other modification of the Products. As a user, collaborator or distributor of the TeachAids Products, you acknowledge these rights and agree not to contest the validity of these rights under any circumstances.

In the event that you become aware of any infringement of any of TeachAids’ intellectual property rights, you agree to promptly inform TeachAids of this infringement by contacting TeachAids in writing at the address provided above. 3. You are free to use and distribute the Products at no cost, provided that: (a) they are used for non-commercial purposes (e.g., you may not accept any funds or other financial benefit at any point, now or in the future, in connection with the use or dissemination of the Products), (b) they may not be modified in any way without TeachAids’ prior written consent, and (c) you clearly and publicly identify the Products as materials developed by TeachAids. 4. The TeachAids Products are provided to you at no cost, for charitable purposes. The Products are provided on an “as-is” basis, and TeachAids makes no warranties, either express or implied, in respect of the Products. In no event shall TeachAids be liable to you or any other individual or entity for any claim or liability arising out of the use of the Products. 5. TeachAids sincerely appreciates all of the contributions and assistance provided by you and the many other individuals and organizations who support its work in developing the Products (collectively, “Contributors”). You understand that TeachAids may acknowledge your assistance and that of other Contributors in any format or medium that TeachAids deems appropriate, in its sole discretion.

You understand and agree that TeachAids is under no obligation to provide any acknowledgement, credit, attribution or thanks (an “Acknowledgement”) to you or any other particular Contributor and you will have no claim against TeachAids for the provision or failure to provide any such Acknowledgement nor will you have any right to determine the format, medium or placement of any such Acknowledgement to the extent provided by TeachAids in its sole discretion. 6. You acknowledge that TeachAids Products (including but not limited to video, digital or printed work containing Acknowledgements) may be distributed by TeachAids under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) License or under other license terms that allow the free reproduction and dissemination of the TeachAids Products by third-parties (a “Permissive License”). You agree you will have no claim, right, or cause of action arising under, and neither TeachAids nor its licensees will bear any obligation or liability for, either TeachAids’ distribution of Products under a Permissive License or from the propagation of such Products by third parties in accordance with the terms of such Permissive License. 7. You acknowledge that TeachAids cannot reasonably exercise control over nor restrict the actions of third-parties who have received TeachAids Products and that TeachAids shall bear no liability nor be obligated to take any action with respect to such third-parties, whether or not such third-party actions are in accordance with the terms of a license received from TeachAids. 6. Upon written request of TeachAids, you agree to promptly destroy or return all Products and documentation furnished to you by TeachAids, together with all copies thereof in your possession, which is in tangible form. 7. You agree not to use the Products disclosed to you by TeachAids for your own use or for any purpose other than to carry out the Purpose of this Partnership Engagement Agreement. 8.

  • Theories of Change in Learning Experience (LX) Design
    3 Theories of Change in Learning Experience (LX) Design Keith Bowen, Karin S. Forssell, & Soren Rosier Designers’ theories about how people learn are the keys to impactful educational design. While much effort and attention is appropriately paid to usability in the development of educational tools and materials, the centrality of learning theories is often underappreciated. Learning theories, in combination with considerations of usability, form coherent theories of change. Theories of Change frame how designers expect to shift learners’ knowledge, skills, and abilities. They play out in the features included in digital learning tools and in the activities chosen for learners in technology-enhanced experiences. They are critical to recognizing whether a design is effective. The clearer the theory, the more specific and measurable the indicators; and reliable, focused measures are key to ensuring that a design is working as planned. Additionally, good measures can transform data into launchpads for design iteration. Aligning learning theory, design, and measures, however, is easier said than done. Through illustrative cases of two learning projects, this chapter gives readers useful frameworks and intuitions to approach this process. Designers will be better prepared not only to create effective experiences, but also to communicate their impact to a range of stakeholders including learners, teachers, buyers, and funders. Author's Note All three authors contributed equally to this chapter. Names are in alphabetical order. 1. Introduction Theories about how people learn should drive the process of designing learning experiences. Those theories that designers hold about how learning happens help them to frame their early investigations into a specific learning problem, their successive iterations in learning design, and their repeated testing with targeted learners.

  • NASHIA and Teachaids Announce Partnership
    National Association of State Head Injury Administrators and TeachAids Unite to Promote Concussion Education Washington, D.C. (Monday, August 2, 2021)—The National Association of State Head Injury Association (NASHIA), a national trade association for state programs that support individuals living with brain injury, and TeachAids, an award-winning nonprofit social enterprise behind the CrashCourse concussion education technology, proudly announce a new partnership. TeachAids creates breakthrough technology to solve persistent problems in health education around the world. Their products are designed with input from a team of world-class academics, researchers, doctors, and athletes associated with leading organizations and institutions such as Stanford University, Harvard University, Ohio State University and beyond. TeachAids has developed "CrashCourse," a suite of interactive products focused on the prevention and treatment of concussions and related mental health issues. This education has been designed to teach athletes, parents and coaches about concussions, as well as to provide resources for leading organizations devoted to brain health. CrashCourse products include scientific knowledge and help dispel myths and misconceptions about the concussion recovery process. “We are excited to partner with TeachAids to provide new free resources to our members and the brain injury community at large. One example of a TeachAids tool is the interactive Concussion Story Wall in which 750 people share 4,000 segments of their personal concussion journey,” states Rebeccah Wolfkiel, NASHIA Executive Director. “Our state programs can refer constituents to these supportive tools to augment their existing practices. State Advisory Councils will also benefit from the free resources as Council members are often leaders among the brain injury community in each state, and are made up of individuals living with brain injury, their families and the diverse professionals supporting them.

  • Piya Sorcar Stanford Phd Dissertation
    TEACHING TABOO TOPICS WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT THEM: AN EPISTEMIC STUDY OF A NEW APPROACH TO HIV/AIDS PREVENTION EDUCATION IN INDIA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION AND THE COMMITTEE ON GRADUATE STUDIES OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Piya Sorcar March 2009 © Copyright by Piya Sorcar 2009 All Rights Reserved ii iii iv Abstract Background: Solving the problem of how to provide effective health education on diseases subject to social taboos is an immediate need. The social stigma of HIV/AIDS is particularly prominent in the developing world, where 95 percent of all HIV-infected persons live. Millions of people risk death from HIV/AIDS while cultures and laws resist change. New approaches must be created to provide education despite whatever social, structural, cultural, and legal barriers exist. Fortunately, the emergence of new media and information and communication technologies (ICT) has provided new ways to help bypass social taboos and provide effective education. This dissertation discusses these challenges and presents criteria for evaluating the efficacy of educational campaigns aimed at promoting awareness relating to taboo topics using a specially designed HIV/AIDS curriculum—Interactive Teaching AIDS—as an exemplar. In health interventions, knowledge is a necessary, although seldom sufficient, step toward bringing about changes in attitudes and behaviors. The Interactive Teaching AIDS (ITA) application was developed, tested, and optimized over a two-year period to provide HIV/AIDS education despite social and cultural challenges. It incorporates key pedagogical and communication theories and approaches in order to maximize its efficacy.

  • Concussion Education Reimagined for Today's Generation
    CONCUSSION EDUCATION REIMAGINED FOR TODAY’S GENERATION 1 IN 5 HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES WILL GET A CONCUSSION More than 2.5 million young people suffer a concussion in the United States each year. Most concussions can heal with the proper care, but the overwhelming majority of students, parents, and coaches are unaware about the latest science around prevention and treatment of concussions. If not treated properly, a concussion may have lasting physical, emotional, and cognitive effects. “ CrashCourse by TeachAids is grounded in integrity and is fast becoming a model program for improving the culture of concussion safety in sport.” DR. BRIAN HAINLINE, CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER, NCAA CHANGING THE WAY YOUNG PEOPLE UNDERSTAND CONCUSSIONS. CrashCourse is a video-based interactive learning experience for students, parents, coaches, officials, and youth sports organizations. It was designed in collaboration with leading national subject matter experts and evaluated using rigorous qualitative and quantitative research methods across a number of studies. All research was conducted through Stanford University and formally approved by their Institutional Review Board. CRASHCOURSE IS: RESEARCH-BASED INTERACTIVE MULTI-SPORT VIRTUAL REALITY BRYCE LOVE, NFL RB; UNANIMOUS ALL-AMERICAN, STANFORD UNIVERSITY After two years of research, six months of production, and thousands of hours of user-testing, CrashCourse provides students, parents, coaches, and officials with the latest medical knowledge on the prevention and treatment of concussions.
