FAQ

Why is there a cost for an SECD license?

While philanthropic support has been essential to its development, a modest cost is essential to sustain technical infrastructure and ensure the content remains current. Red River College Polytechnic keeps this fee as low as possible, with all revenue directed toward the ongoing sustainability of the project.

What if my group needs access for more or less than two years?

If your group requires a different license term, please contact us at sales@scienceofecd.com to discuss.

What’s the difference between an individual license and a projection license?

The individual license gives the user access to the content for his/her personal use.

The projection license gives the user (teacher/instructor/professor) or agency access to the chosen online learning package and provides permission to project the content (videos, games and slideshows, etc.) and print readings to distribute. 

  • The projection license allows for projection by one person at a time. Many institutions and agencies find it works well to get an individual license for each person who will use the resource and a smaller number of projection licenses, depending on their anticipated use.
  • The projection license allows you to use copies of the online SECD materials within a classroom, workshop or other face-to-face or live virtual sessions with credit given to the source. Within the resource there are links to external websites and reports. In those cases, you should follow the copyright requirements on the individual sites.

How can I give my students access to SECD? 

If you want your students to access specific SECD learning package content online (for example, SECD Canada Introductory Edition), each student will need an individual license. Special pricing for group/bookstore orders is available.

For costs and information, see the group order form
