Please note that educational announcements are intended solely for content that supplements the course material. While instructors may include links to relevant, free educational resources, these announcements should not be used for marketing or promotional purposes.
Instructors – Detailed Guidelines
-
You are only allowed to send four educational announcements per course per month to students enrolled in the course.
-
You are only allowed to include information relevant to your course topic.
-
You also have the option to include some educational links, as long as it does not require students to provide personal information to you as the instructor. Linking to reputable third party sites that keep student information secure such as the Amazon, or any other sites that require signing up through Google, Twitter and alike are definitely allowed. By any chance that there is a link that you are unsure about using, send us an email to policy@Thkee.com, and we will be happy to look into it and assist you if needed.
