Schools shall supply identifiers that comply with the school's policies. If a school elects to use a third-party authentication service (such as Google or Microsoft Single Sign On), the school agrees that it may provide to Boom Learning the information required to authenticate students. The authenticator may deliver a persistent identifier, name, email address, and an avatar.

Collected student progress data elements

When students play lessons with progress reporting enabled, Boom Learning collects the following information:

  • Device info: (browser version, OS type)
  • Time spent
  • Student responses.

Data deletion

Students cannot delete log data.

Educators can delete some or all student log data.

When an Educator deletes a teacher account, all sub student accounts and student data are deleted.

An Educator account is considered abandoned when its membership has expired and no Educator login has occurred for more than 90 days. For abandoned Educator accounts, Boom Learning deletes sub student accounts and student data.

EXHIBIT "A" 

Description of Services

Boom Cards teaching resources are cloud-resident and -served instructional-material mini-apps such as digital learning games, instant-feedback quizzes, and interactive lessons. The Boom platform includes three elements: creation tools (provided at no charge to all users), data processing and reporting of learner performance data (provide at a fee if more than 5 students), and storage for created Boom Cardsmini-apps. Educators create Boom Cards for personal use, use with colleagues, and/or for distribution (for a fee or no fee) via the Boom Store or through third-party marketplaces. Boom Cards may be assigned in ways that do not collect data or in ways that use the Boom Reports feature to process and report learner performance data.


Purpose

To buy, create, store, assign, and (optionally) record student progress on Boom Cards cloud-resident instructional materials.
