How Our Content Licensing Agreement Works for Higher Education

Published on

Modern technology has transformed how people learn, and online educational content is in high demand. As an educator seeking to share online educational content with students, it’s important to do so legally and ethically, respecting the rights of those who created the materials.

One effective way for educational institutions to leverage premium educational content is through content licensing.

What is a content licensing agreement? This is special permission you obtain from another educator like MedCerts to access, use and distribute copyrighted material such as:

  • Educational resources
  • Training programs
  • Software

This approach allows you to offer top-notch, industry-recognized training to your students. Below is further insight into how MedCert’s content licensing works as well as its numerous benefits. 

What is MedCerts’ Content Licensing Agreement? 

A content licensing agreement gives you permission to use educational material for teaching purposes. The formal agreement includes:

  • Legal authorization to access and utilize copyrighted materials
  • Guidelines on usage and content distribution
  • The duration of the licensing period
  • Permissions regarding content modifications
  • Pricing details and payment terms

Through MedCerts Partner Solutions, we are able to give other educators access to our robust catalog of healthcare and IT programs. Our programs are designed to align with industry standards. This helps to guarantee your students receive training that meets the demands of today’s workforce. Some of the flexible models you can leverage include: 

Content Reselling

Creating learning material from scratch can be both daunting and costly for educators. With our content reselling model, you can repurpose our materials and programs to meet your students’ learning objectives. We can help you seamlessly integrate our up-to-date content into your existing curriculum, enabling quick adaptation to evolving workforce needs. 

Credit Transfers

This model allows you to apply credits or academic points your students earn from taking our educational programs into your institution’s long-term degrees. This approach not only diversifies your student body but also boosts the value of your academic pathway. Also known as Credit for Prior Learning, this approach can motivate your learners during their 2- or 4-year programs since they can earn certifications and credits while pursuing a higher degree. 

Program Supplementation

Sometimes, you might not need to buy the entire learning package since you may have a curriculum that already works. To boost the value of your offerings, you can opt to integrate some of our more specialized certifications into your course offering. This form of program supplementation only further boosts your institution’s appeal. 

What Does the Licensing Process Entail?

It begins with an initial consultation and needs assessment. This evaluation enables us to tailor the agreement to meet your unique needs. We can then outline the agreement terms, such as:

  • The types of digital educational content you can license
  • The duration the license lasts
  • How you can use the content
  • Where you can use the content
  • How many changes you can make to the content

After finalizing the agreement, we can provide comprehensive implementation and ongoing support. This includes: 

  • Technical assistance
  • Faculty training
  • Access to our student success resources 
  • Continuous evaluation and feedback loops
