University students participating in a practical classroom exercise

FREE TEACHING USE

Bring practical workplace assessment into university teaching

Universities may qualify to use HRP free of charge for practical teaching, student exercises and qualifying open-science purposes without joining the HRP Professional certification offer for students.

Practical classroom exercises

Use HRP in practical teaching, student exercises, and course-based activities that bring workplace assessment into the classroom.

Supervised applied work

Students may work with practical assessment exercises and supervised use cases defined by the institution and the academic context.

Institutional course ownership

The university keeps its own course structure, approval process, and decisions about how HRP fits into the academic setting.

Free academic access

Use HRP in teaching without joining the certification programme

Universities may qualify to use HRP free of charge in teaching and qualifying open-science contexts where the purpose is academic use rather than participation in the HRP Professional certification offer for students.

Free teaching use can support practical student exercises, supervised applied work, and responsible academic use within an existing course while preserving the institution's own course structure and approval process.

What free teaching use can support

  • Qualifying academic teaching, supervised student exercises, and responsible open-science use within a university context may use HRP free of charge.
  • HRP can support practical teaching and research use, including supervised work with contemporary assessment workflows and role-relevant interpretation boundaries.
  • Students may work with practical assessment exercises, applied course activities, and supervised use cases defined by the institution and the academic context.
  • Free Teaching Use does not include HRP Professional certification, Moodle-based certification education, practical assignments or assessment by HRP.

Academic use and open-science visibility

HRP can support academic and research use while contributing to responsible open-science visibility and possible institutional contribution to applied assessment knowledge through supervised practice.

External methodological visibility includes the public IPIP implementation listing maintained by Oregon Research Institute.

Responsible academic use

Practical teaching within clear academic and professional boundaries

  • Use remains within the course structure, supervision, and academic context defined by the institution.
  • Students work within role-relevant interpretation boundaries rather than unrestricted professional use.
  • Real participant data requires appropriate consent, privacy protection, and institutional governance.
  • Higher-stakes interpretation and professional use continue to require the relevant qualified oversight.
  • Free Teaching Use does not include HRP Professional certification, Moodle-based certification education, practical assignments or assessment by HRP.
