Several years ago, less than 10, many of the schools in our district used
the old Electronic Bookshelf computer program. EB was the original
teacher-made comprehension program that existed before anyone heard of AR.
One school in the district had many quizzes that were created by the LMS,
parent volunteers and other media specialists who took the district offered
EB inservice. Tests were on floppy disks that were duplicated and shared
with any other school that bought the program. School district lawyers got
involved when EB asked us to stop sharing. They were concerned that
purchased tests were mixed with school made tests. Bottom line was we were
no longer allowed to share.
My take is that AR has the rights to all tests made with their program.
Without their software we could not create the tests. Their software is
different from "creativity" software such as Kid Pix or Powerpoint.
Just my opinion.
