Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who can download learning objects?

The basic idea of SWITCHcollection is providing a access to open educational resources of swiss universities. This means that academic learning content can be downloaded and re-used freely. However, in SWITCHcollection content contributors have the possibility to restrict access to their learning contents to specific user groups.

Q: Who can upload learning objects?

The community repository of SWITCHcollection is a service for swiss higher education institutions. It has been designed to be used by any teacher or university staff member - even students could have upload rights. However, the universities are the final authorities to decide who may upload contents, and the universities define access or usage policies.

Q: What do I have to do to get upload access?

You need write permissions to one ore more folders in the community repository. There are two possibilities to get write permissions:

• either contact the e-learning support center at your university (list of support centers)
• or contact collection-support@switch.ch

Q: How are copyright infringements avoided?

For objects that are uploaded to the community repository: The owner of a learning object is responsible for ensuring that the works he/she uploads may be used by SWITCH in the context of SWITCHcollection.

For objects that are found through the comunity search engine: The owner of the learning object is responsible for ensuring that SWITCH is entitled to distribute the contents.
