The statewide bid for DE Streaming was a 500% increase in cost—we’re disappointed that Discovery was unable to work with the AEAs. The AEAs have identified the most-used video titles/series in DE Streaming and are in the process of creating a new streaming service that will provide the same or similar video content. The target date for roll out is fall 2011. This new video content will be in addition to the excellent content already available in Learn360.
DE Streaming Terms of Service After June 30, 2011
According to the DE Streaming terms of service, after June 30, 2011 users will no longer be authorized to view, save, store, display or use in any manner, any of the Discovery Education content. As agreed upon in the Iowa statewide contract for the subscription, once the subscription expires, schools may not access or view any of the content thereafter, wherever it may be located, and have committed to make sure that any and all copies or materials that you, or any students, teachers or administrators, have downloaded or saved from Discovery Education are completely erased, deleted or destroyed from all school computers, servers, flash drives, DVDs and other portable storage devices. This includes downloaded videos, images, audio files, lesson plans or presentations from the Discovery Educator Network Resource library.
