Owning a Course

Educators
1

I am looking to purchase the Programming course 1B for my school but do not want to waste money. If I purchase it this year am I going to have to repurchase it every year for 380 students or once I buy it I own it forever no matter how many students come and go? Our district want to teach coding in our computer lab but I do not want to have to purchase it every year.

My experience with a purchased course is that it’s only for one semester/year. Once you have added a student to that course, that “seat” is taken. You cannot remove students and replace them with new students.

When you purchase a Classroom Package, this allows you to use one course with up to 30 students. Once a license is assigned to a student, it cannot be reassigned to another student.

If you’re using Tynker with 380 students, you might be interested in getting a school license, which includes many student licenses (400 or 600) and all relevant courses, including our STEM integration courses, at a lower price per student. To get a quote for your school, you can submit your school information here.

If you’re interested in seeing how Tynker works on a school level, I highly recommend you check out our live demos. We do them every week, and go through all your different options.

Thanks for your question. Our licensing is yearly, and it’s designed for student mastery.
If you’re looking to make coding a yearly activity, and want to see progress, I’d suggest looking at our school curriculum. https://www.tynker.com/school/courses/

Since we track mastery- you can’t reuse licenses, otherwise those students who completed 1B would lose all their progress.
