hello courageous teachers !
I �ve got an ethical problem. I downloaded a Ws from an esl member but I �ve been updating it since this morning. So it �s a different one but with elements from the one I downloaded. Am I allowed to publish it on the site or can it be considered as intellectual robbery ?
Thanks

No, I don �t think you should. I had the same issue with a German ws on a different platform and I had the ws removed.
Honestly and from the perspective of a human being: I also shared a trivia quiz here about a year ago. I came up with the idea myself and invested lots and lots of time in researching and designing it, ended up not giving it to my own students. Someone who downloaded the ws published their own version about a year later......I was disappointed, quite so.
Do you really need the points so badly? I am sure you can come up with something else if you really need to send it for the points.
Warm regards

Maybe you can ask the esl mamber for permission to use it.If the member says it �s ok then don �t forget to mention it in the worksheet description so as not to be reported. |

I �ve already had the same problem, I had borrowed a text from a member but the reading activities were really different. I sent her a private message to make sure she didn �t mind and uploaded my worksheet precising where the text came from. My worksheet wasn �t removed. So I think it mainly depends on the activities you �ve made on your own. If you just changed a few sentences or removed a question, I think you shouldn �t upload it. But if the activities are really different, you might share it. Hope our answers will help you!
