Are there any terms and conditions I need to be aware of to use the resources?
The teaching resources are intended only for teaching courses at regionally accredited or higher learning institutions. The content may be adapted, customized, remixed, and shared for educational use. Content may not be distributed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose, commercial advantage, or private monetary compensation.
If you distribute, publicly perform, display, transmit, publish, or otherwise make available any of the resources or any derivative works thereof, you must attribute the material you use back to the teaching resources, but not in any way that suggests Google, any of its affiliates, or any of its third party content providers endorse you or your use of such materials. If you adapt, remix, or customize the teaching resources please include the following text on each edited slide: “The original content was provided by Google LLC and modified for the purpose of the course, without input or endorsement from Google LLC.”
Material is not available that is relevant to the course I am interested in teaching. What are my options?
You are free to adapt and remix the materials in the Google Cloud Computing Foundations curriculum. You can create and add in any materials that will enable you to teach your course.
If you don’t find what you need, you may submit a request to the Google Cloud Education team at CloudEduTeaching@google.com. We will review and consider publishing it with a future version of the curriculum.
I have feedback on the course material — how can I submit it and what happens once I do?
This content has been developed for a general student audience and may not be directly aligned to your course syllabus. We encourage you to modify and customize it to fit the needs of your courses and curriculum.
However, if you see any corrections on the slides that need to be made, you can email support@qwiklabs.com (preface the subject line with Google Cloud Teaching Resources: Google Cloud Foundations).
We expect to refresh the content every quarter and will incorporate changes in order of priority with any subsequent versions of the course.
