Licensing & Provenance

Who owns this material, how you may reuse it, how to credit it, and where it came from. This page is the authoritative source for every activity in the Learning Activities Hub.

Copyright & ownership

© 2026 TCEA. Created by Miguel Guhlin (mguhlin@tcea.org | mguhlin.org) in the course of his work at TCEA.

These materials were created by Miguel Guhlin, Director of Professional Development at TCEA (the Texas Computer Education Association), as part of his work there. They complement TCEA's professional-learning programs — the TCEA blog, workshops, and conference sessions. Copyright is held by TCEA.

Questions about rights, permissions, or licensing beyond the terms below should go to TCEA through the contact address above.

How you may use it

Two licenses apply, depending on which part you are reusing.

PartLicenseWhat that covers
ContentCC BY-NC 4.0Activity text, questions, clue scenarios, instructional design, artwork, translations
CodeMITHTML, CSS, and JavaScript source

Content is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International. Creative Commons recommends against applying CC licenses to software, so the source code is offered under the MIT License instead. The MIT terms cover the code only and grant no rights to the content.

Yes, without asking

Not without written permission

Commercial use requires separate written permission from TCEA. Ask — permission is not automatically refused, it simply is not granted by the public license.

How to credit

Attribution is required under CC BY-NC 4.0. Include the activity name, the copyright holder, the creator, and the license:

[Activity name] © 2026 TCEA, created by Miguel Guhlin. Licensed CC BY-NC 4.0.

If you adapted the activity, say so — for example, "Adapted from [Activity name] © 2026 TCEA, created by Miguel Guhlin. CC BY-NC 4.0." Where practical, link back to this hub so others can find the original.

Works by other people

Some activities are built around texts and works TCEA does not own. Those works are excluded from the license above and remain the property of their respective copyright holders.

Public-domain texts

Most literature activities use public-domain works — Poe, Shakespeare, Chekhov, London, Aesop, Twain, and many others. These are used and linked directly.

Works still in copyright

Six activities are independent educational companions to works still under copyright:

WorkAuthor
The Diary of a Young GirlAnne Frank
Between the World and MeTa-Nehisi Coates
Brave New WorldAldous Huxley
In the Time of the ButterfliesJulia Alvarez
KindredOctavia E. Butler
Separate Is Never EqualDuncan Tonatiuh

These companions reproduce no text from the works themselves. They contain no quoted passages, no excerpts, and no reproduced illustrations. Every activity is original writing about the work — questions, sorting tasks, reasoning prompts, and discussion frames. Any artwork is an original instructional recreation, not artwork from the book.

Students need lawful access to their own copy of the work. These activities do not reproduce or replace it, and are not affiliated with or endorsed by any author, estate, or publisher.

Provenance

The Learning Activities Hub grew out of TCEA's professional-learning work. Its suites include Critical Thinking Online Breakouts (CLEAR, Fourth of July, July 5 & Black Freedom Holidays, Bible as Literature, and Science K–8), PlotPoint literature rooms, Problem-Solving Teaching (PST), Say It Make It, Lab Safety Certification, Relic Rooms, Digital Math Tools, Digital Citizenship, GenAI Literacy, and Suffrage Sojourn.

Suffrage Sojourn is a no-combat history journey through five turning points in the movement for voting rights, published separately at mglearn.github.io/sojourn. Its historical material comes from public institutional sources — the Library of Congress exhibition on the Declaration of Sentiments, the National Archives milestone documents for the 19th Amendment and the Voting Rights Act, and the National Park Service suffrage timeline — each linked directly from the source shelf in teacher mode. Quoted primary-source passages are short excerpts from public-domain documents; the scene artwork is original illustration in the style of a period archival print, not reproduced historical artwork.

Shared instructional scaffolding — UDL guidance, ELPS supports, and lesson-plan structure — is adapted from TCEA breakout and professional-development materials. Several suites are distilled from TCEA workshop curricula.

Content, code, artwork, and the seven-language translations are produced with the help of generative-AI tools and refined under Miguel Guhlin's direction and editorial review; a human stays in the loop on every decision. Translations are machine-assisted and flagged for local educator review before classroom use.

Privacy

Every activity runs entirely in the student's browser. There are no logins and no accounts, nothing is uploaded, and no student data is collected or transmitted. Progress, where an activity saves any, stays on the device.
