Welcome to the AHA Instructor Community!
You can connect with other active AHA Instructors on the Community. It is meant to be a fun and engaging resource where members are encouraged to ask questions and share ideas about their experiences as an AHA Instructor. We do, however, operate by a set of Community Guidelines. These guidelines are designed to ensure the experience in the Instructor Community is an enjoyable, beneficial, and productive one for all our users. They boil down to common sense, basic courtesy, respect, and not using the site for spamming.
- Keep your account information secure
You are ultimately responsible for the activity connected to your account and password. Therefore, keep the account and password you have created to use our website and online community secure, and do not share it with anyone.
- One account per member
All members are to have only one username that they use in this online community and are to post under that name exclusively.
- Be respectful
We expect our users to act in a way that is respectful, patient, and accommodating of other users, especially when disagreements arise. Please keep this in mind as you post on the message boards and in the rest of the community.
Please do not post anything that is abusive, illegal, or disruptive. We may remove your post if it:
(a.) is off topic,
(b.) violates another’s copyright or intellectual property,
(c.) is fraudulent, deceptive or misleading,
(d.) contains libelous profane, defamatory, disparaging, hateful, harassing, threatening, or obscene content,
(e.) condones or promotes illegal activity or activity that goes against the AHA’s Program Administration Manual or other policies,
(f.) is otherwise sexual or offensive graphically or in tone (g.) contains spam or is intended to cause technical disruptions to this page,
(h.) violates any local, state, federal, and/or international laws or regulations.
The community moderator reserves the right to edit or remove postings and to lock threads that violate this standard, as well as remove any members who repeatedly demonstrate disrespect. Anyone repeatedly posting material that falls into the above categories will be removed and/or banned from participating in this community. We will take action against such behavior as we deem necessary.
- Not responsible or liable for outside links
There may be links posted within the community by users to other online domains, outside of our own web assets. In using this online community, you acknowledge that the American Heart Association has no control over such sites and resources, does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any materials, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources.
