Learning Village
Acceptable Use Agreement
The Duval County Public Schools' Learning Village is an online virtual community for instructional materials development and collaboration created with teachers' needs in mind.
The DCPS Learning Village features-
- An Instructional Organizer with tools that allows users to search for and create instructional materials (lesson plans, unit plans, activities, strategies, and resources) and assessments which correlate to state and local standards.
- A district database that allows users to search for district common lessons and best practices.
- A connected learning community where users may collaborate and share with other DCPS Learning Village members.
- Anytime, Anywhere, Anyplace access with Internet connectivity.
The DCPS Learning Village contains an instructional organizer for each teacher to develop and maintain his/her own instructional materials. Instructional materials can be shared with other users (including teachers and administrators) within schools and/or across the district. District approved instructional materials, assessments, and resources will also be available for users through the Instructional Organizer. The Learning Village includes a searchable database that allows users to easily locate and access these resources to support standards-based instruction.
Along with access to this rich resource and teacher tool, comes the expectation of responsible use. The DCPS Learning Village is a Duval County Public Schools (DCPS) computer system.

Inappropriate use or inability to follow the appropriate workflow may result in removal of access to the Instructional Organizer.
Workflow: Many users create or have knowledge of excellent instructional materials that would benefit educators throughout the district. The procedures below must be followed when submitting instructional materials to the district searchable database:
- All instructional materials must be shared with the principal or designee through the Learning Village . Users must notify the principal or designee of the request for approval.
- After receiving the principal's or designee's approval, the instructional materials must be shared with the appropriate subject area supervisor through the Learning Village .

A future version of the Learning Village will include a feature to automatically notify other users.
