Special Obligations for Teaching Staff and Managers

In iLearn certain student-related data are 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 iLearn database, for example due to deregistration, certain student-related data will be lost. In accordance with the prescribed storage period of two years (Section 12, Subsection 1 of the Bavarian State Examination Framework Regulations), examination results will be stored in iLearn. 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 an iLearn 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 an iLearn course by participants individually or together.
Transfer to third parties and/or use outside of this iLearn platform of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology is explicitly only permitted with the written permission of the originator.
