tecteam educational institute - Learning Management System

Understanding

This user agreement uses the masculine form according to grammar in a neutral sense to keep the text easier to read. It always addresses women and men in the same way. We ask female readers to understand this simplification in the text.

Scope and entry into force

This user agreement comes into effect on 12.03.2021 and applies to the entirety of all offers and services provided in the learning management system at https://tecteam-lms.de.

Validity

The following regulations apply to all registered participants of e-learning offers in the learning management system of tecteam Bildungsinstitut für Technische Kommunikation as well as to users of guest access.

Login and registration

Participation in e-learning offers requires a one-time registration on the ILIAS learning platform.
The registration data consists of the participant's first and last name and a password, which must be changed by the participant when logging in for the first time.
During the registration procedure, the following data, so-called inventory data, of a participant are stored in the learning management system: Login name, first and last name, e-mail address, ID number.

Privacy

All personal data of participants collected in the course of registration and enrollment will be processed in accordance with the applicable statutory data protection provisions. This also applies to the system-related, temporary storage of individual connection data in the learning management system. The data will not be passed on to third parties, unless the user allows this or the operator is obliged to hand it over due to legal regulations.
All registered participants may at any time request in writing from tecteam Bildungsinstitut für Technische Kommunikation information about their personal data stored on the learning platform or request the deletion of their complete data. Our contact details for this can be found in the imprint.

Contributions published by you in the learning management system in forums, chats, blogs, wikis, etc. or files made available by you for retrieval, which remain available until the respective telecourse is deleted, are excluded from deletion.

When registering in the learning management system, in addition to the inventory data, data entered voluntarily by participants from the time of registration and/or data accruing during use, so-called usage data, is stored electronically in a database; this includes information accruing automatically and entered by the participant.
However, personal contributions in forums, wikis, blogs or tasks etc. displayed on the learning platform and depending on the settings of the respective activities become visible. This data may be used by teachers (in the role of "tutor") exclusively for teaching purposes and by course participants (in the role of "participant") exclusively for learning purposes of the course, insofar as this is necessary for the fulfillment of the task. The legal basis for the collection and processing of your data, insofar as this is necessary for registration to the learning management system and for the implementation of the courses, is Art 6 I 1 b) DS-GVO.

Furthermore, it is logged at which time participants have accessed which components of the learning platform and in which activities they have participated. Neither course administrators (e.g. in the role "tutor") nor other course participants (e.g. in the role "participant") have access to these log files and the database.
The persons entrusted with the technical administration of the learning management system (e.g. in the role of "administrator") as well as the database and web server have access to all personal data stored in the system. They may only process this data to the extent necessary to ensure the operation of the learning management system. The access and use of this data is in our legitimate interest according to Art 6 I 1 f) DS-GVO. Thus, our company has an interest in ensuring the technical availability of our services and in continuously improving them and making them more user-friendly.

In addition, the learning management system uses so-called session cookies so that the login is retained when accessing from page to page. The storage of such cookies is necessary to provide the learning management system and to enable us to provide our contractual services. The legal basis for this is Art 6 I 1 b) DS-GVO. After logging out or closing the web browser, the cookie is deleted.

Information on your rights regarding your personal data from the 3rd chapter of the DS-GVO (deletion, information, etc.), the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority and the contact details of the data protection officer can be found in our privacy policy.

General obligations of the users

Upon registration, the user is granted a simple, non-transferable right of use for this learning management system. Storage space made available to the user may only be used to store the content created. All users are obligated to treat the data of other users accessible to them as strictly confidential and, as a matter of principle, not to pass this data on to third parties without the written consent of the person concerned. This applies in particular to the names and e-mail addresses of other users registered in the system.
This learning management system is used exclusively for the creation and implementation of learning offers of tecteam Bildungsinstitut and for internal communication between learners and teachers. Any other use of the platform, e.g. for other private and/or commercial purposes, is not permitted. All users are obliged to comply with the statutory provisions, in particular the provisions of copyright law and data protection. If users set links to external websites, they must check in advance that the external websites thus linked do not contain any illegal content.
In principle, all users on the learning platform are prohibited:
Change data without authorization, delete it, render it unusable and/or use it in a manner other than in accordance with its intended use,
in particular, to disseminate material of unconstitutional organizations or their ideas, or
to make hurtful, insulting or defamatory statements about others. 

Dealing with copyrights

Copyrightable works or parts of works, such as course materials, templates, excerpts from other works, images, etc., that are used in the learning management system and/or that are explicitly created for a telecourse may generally not be used outside the learning management system and/or passed on to third parties.
This applies in particular to teaching and learning materials created by tutors/course administrators and to copyrightable contributions made by participants individually or jointly in the course of a telecourse.
Any transfer to third parties and/or use outside of this learning management system is expressly permitted only with the written consent of the author. However, all users expressly agree that all contributions personally created by them may be used for the purposes of the telecourse, irrespective of their copyrightability.

Exclusion from use

In the event of serious and/or continued violations of this user agreement, the users in question may be excluded from using the learning management system for a limited period of time or permanently. The administrators of the learning management system as well as the institute management are generally entitled to exclude the user. The temporary or permanent exclusion of a participant must always be preceded by a request to cease the offending behavior. Only then, if the user in question does not change his or her behavior in a recognizable way, can the administration or the institute management pronounce the exclusion.
Users who have already been excluded can be readmitted if it is ensured that the abusive behavior will cease in the future.

Liability

In the event of a culpable breach by the user of statutory obligations or the obligations regulated in this user agreement, the user shall be liable in accordance with the statutory provisions. As the operator of the learning management system, tecteam Bildungsinstitut shall only be liable for grossly negligent or intentional breaches of duty. This applies in particular to such damage caused to the user's technical equipment by downloading materials or software and other transactions.
