From their website: Skill Builders is an ASSISTments feature that allows teachers to assign practice of individual skills to students. To complete skill builders, students need to answer a specific number of questions correctly in a row (normally 3). Students will be automatically reassessed periodically over time on the skills that they have completed when skill builders are used in conjunction with the Automatic Reassessment and Relearning System (ARRS) feature. If students are unable to answer skills correctly on the reassessment test, they are assigned relearning skill builders.

Declined Reasoning: We're not able to customize our Terms and Conditions nor we can sign additional contracts. If our existing T&Cs don't work for your organization there's really nothing we can do. We've had similar requests from a few other groups over the years but our legal team is unwilling to modify our existing T&Cs. The *only* possible exception would be if you're placing a large order (usually 300+ books ordered at one time). In that case you'd be working with our Client Services team, who is able to customize their own contracts *to a point* and might be able to accommodate your needs. But again, you must be ordering 300+ copies at once and working with a Client Services rep. If that's the size of order you were thinking of please let me know. Otherwise, I can only reiterate what has been explained to you in previous messages--which is that any material submitted for printing is protected by the terms and conditions listed on our site, as well as the confidentiality agreements signed by Blurb employees and our partners.

I'm a teacher, not an attorney and I have no time to read nor sign a document I wouldn't understand anyways. What I can tell you is that the apps do not collect any data from the students. They operate with or without an internet connection . a pretty good sign I'm not interested in anyone's private information. What gets entered into the app stays in the app and that's a promise. If that's not enough of a clear statement, then don't download the app. But I have students to help, so I have no time to try to understand your 20-page document.
