Using Doc Lobe in your classroom

01At a glance

Community colleges and nonprofits get 20% off course and annual instructor licenses ($399 a course, $959 a year), and prison and correctional education programs get 40% off. See Pricing.

02Free use

Anyone may use doclobe.com for free, without an account, to:

• study the lessons, 3D models, games, quizzes and flashcards on their own
• download their own "My results" report
• link to Doc Lobe pages from a syllabus, website or reading list
• show Doc Lobe in a single presentation, conference talk or guest lecture
• try Doc Lobe with a class for up to 7 days of classroom use before deciding on a license

03When you need a license

A course license is needed when Doc Lobe is an assigned or graded part of a course or program offered by a school, college, university, correctional facility, training program or other organization, beyond the 7-day trial. That includes:

• assigning Doc Lobe lessons, games or quizzes as coursework
• counting Doc Lobe quizzes or results toward grades
• running Doc Lobe on classroom, lab or facility computers, including from a flash drive
• loading Doc Lobe quiz files into a course site

One course license covers one section of a course for one academic term, taught by the licensed instructor. An annual instructor license covers every section one instructor teaches for 12 months. An annual campus license covers every instructor and section at one four-year college or university for 12 months. Tutoring, advising and personal study by students never need a license.

04Teaching packets

Each teaching packet you buy is licensed to you, one teacher, for your own classes, for as long as you teach them. You may:

• print and copy the forms, activities and rubrics for your own students
• edit the Word files to fit your class
• post them in your own course site, visible only to students enrolled in your sections

You may not share packets with other teachers, put them in a shared department folder or course template, post them publicly, or resell them. Colleagues can buy their own packets for $5 each, or your school can get an annual campus license, which includes every packet for every instructor.

Buying packets is not a course license. Packets give you teaching materials; a course license gives your class the right to use Doc Lobe as part of the course, plus the tools and support listed below. Every course license includes all 31 packets.

05What licenses include

06License term, access and renewal

Every license has a start date and an end date, shown on the license agreement and in the Instructor Portal. Each licensed instructor receives a private access code for the portal, where the licensed files are downloaded.

• Access ends on the end date. At 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern time on the last day of the license, the access code stops working, download links stop working, and classroom use of Doc Lobe as part of the course ends.
• Course licenses renew each term. To teach with Doc Lobe in the next term, register for a new course license agreement. A new code is issued for the new term.
• Annual licenses cover 12 months from the start date, including every term in that period, and renew yearly.
• Files already downloaded may be kept for your records, but may not be used for teaching after the license ends unless it is renewed.
• Keep your code private. Codes are for the licensed instructor only. If a code is shared or lost, Doc Lobe may cancel it and issue a new one.

07Sharing and copyright

Doc Lobe lessons, diagrams, 3D lesson designs, games, packets, quiz files and guides are the property of Doc Lobe Teaching, Learning, and Research Firm and are protected by copyright. Outside works linked or summarized on the site belong to their owners.

• Please don't copy, republish, resell or redistribute Doc Lobe materials, except as these terms allow.
• Keep quiz files, certificate tests and answer keys within your licensed course; don't post them where students outside your section can see them.
• Doc Lobe certificates are issued only by Doc Lobe, only to students in licensed courses who passed every certificate test, and can be checked at doclobe.com/verify. Creating or altering a certificate is not allowed.
• When you quote or show Doc Lobe in a presentation, credit "Doc Lobe Teaching, Learning, and Research Firm, doclobe.com."

08For learning only

Doc Lobe is educational material for mental health students, professionals and educational leaders. It is not a diagnostic tool, medical advice or treatment, and it does not replace evaluation by a licensed clinician. If you or a student is in crisis in the U.S., call or text 988.

09Privacy

Doc Lobe needs no student accounts and collects no student personal information. Quiz and game results stay in each student's browser until the student downloads them. The Class Results page reads files only in the instructor's browser. Forms you choose to send us (contact, quote or testimony) go to Doc Lobe and are used only to reply to you or, with your permission, to share your testimony.

Those forms are handled by Jotform, payments by PayPal, and the website by Netlify. We keep quote and license records for 7 years for tax purposes, certificate records for as long as the certificate can be verified, and other messages for up to 2 years. You may ask to see, correct or delete your information, or withdraw a testimony, at any time by emailing doclobe23@gmail.com; we reply within 30 days. People in the European Union, the United Kingdom and other places with data protection laws have these rights under those laws.

12International customers

Schools, colleges, universities and programs outside the United States are welcome to license Doc Lobe.

• How to buy. International licenses are arranged by quote and paid by invoice through PayPal or international wire transfer. Teaching packet checkout on this site is currently available to buyers in the United States only; international instructors receive all 31 packets with a license.
• Currency. All prices and invoices are in U.S. dollars. Bank, wire and currency conversion fees are paid by the buyer.
