Can I edit the presentations? One of the major advantages of Boardworks KS 4 Biology is that it has been created in Power. Point which means it is editable. You are free to use the standard Power. Point functionality to edit the presentations, including reordering, adding or deleting slides, adding or removing text, or inserting your own activities or images. The only items that aren’t editable are the Flash activities, and these can still be copied and pasted between slides and presentations. Many schools save the original version of the product on the network, with teachers saving their own versions locally. You can use any media in your own presentations for educational use within the school that has bought the product, with the exception of images that have a copyright line or other acknowledgement next to them; we cannot grant copyright for these items as we have licensed from another party and they must not be copied or edited in any way. If you move to another school, you must remove any Boardworks media from your own presentations. The Copyright Licence supplied on the CD-ROM contains fuller details and takes precedence over this document. 9 of 11 © Boardworks Ltd 2004
