Sensitive or otherwise inappropriate topics or language
As a global learning platform with learners ranging from casual hobbyists to professional enterprise customers, we must take into consideration many sensitivities when evaluating content.
We will examine not only the kind of topic under discussion, but also how those topics are presented. When providing instruction on a sensitive subject area, ensure that all associated course materials treat that subject with care. Avoid language and imagery which is inflammatory, offensive, or otherwise insensitive.
Content for young people
Orbrix Online is not currently set up to support underage learners. Persons under the age of consent (for example, 13 in the US or 16 in Ireland) may not use the services. Those under 18 but above the age of consent may use the services only if a parent or guardian opens their account, handles any enrolments, and manages their account usage.
As such, please ensure any subject matter oriented towards young students is clearly marketed to parents and guardians who will be supervising their learning.
