About the EDGs
The AP electronic discussion groups (EDGs) were created to provide a moderated forum for the exchange of ideas, insights, and practices among AP teachers, Coordinators, consultants, Readers, administrators, and college faculty. We want to facilitate as broad and as rich an exchange as possible, while simultaneously protecting individual contributions.
Since the AP Program recognizes that many postings would be invaluable to a much larger group of teachers, we would like to have the option of sharing your good teaching ideas with a broader audience, such as visitors to AP Central as well as readers of AP Teacher's Guides and other curriculum materials.
To that end, we attach an agreement below the welcome message, that seeks to protect both individual authorship and AP community collaboration. Just a few highlights:
- Participants in the discussion group retain copyright for all original messages; this is a key point made in our discussions with AP faculty, and we're pleased we are able to adopt. The participant allows the College Board to use the materials to share with other teachers, but only for non-commercial educational purposes.
- The College Board retains only the copyright to the overall collection of messages. The reason we do this is that it allows us some ability to protect the group's messages from third parties that might poach materials for commercial interests.
- We will endeavor (where practical) to attribute any use of materials to the original author, unless the author wishes otherwise.
The AP Program sincerely appreciates the work you do as AP teachers, and thanks you for your willingness to share practices and principles that have made a difference in your classroom. Your participation expands the numbers of students you serve by supporting other teachers in their work. We trust that these electronic discussion groups will enhance pedagogy and practices around the world.
Many thanks in advance for your contributions!
