Any materials developed by Contractor personnel as part of this contract that are used and/or uploaded onto USNCC LMS shall become Government property. Any videos embedded via announcements should be limited in duration and file size. All materials uploaded shall follow current USNCC Academic and IT policies. Any supplemented materials used by Contractor personnel must not violate copyright laws or other restricted use. The Government will not incur any costs associated with the use of any supplemental materials developed and/or used by Contractor personnel. All supplemental materials used require pre-approval by the USNCC Dean and/or Associate Dean of the Academics Program. Failure to comply could lead to removal from instruction and the contract

USNCC shall define, identify, and provide the standards, assessment tools, and Blackboard generated reports to be used. Contractor personnel shall preemptively follow up with any of their students who are perceived to be struggling, at risk of not passing, or not actively participating in the course and be responsive to their student needs and concerns. Contractor personnel shall notify USNCC all ‘at risk’ students using the LMS At Risk identification process.

The reporting format shall comply with USNCC requirements, as defined in the USNCC Faculty Handbook.
