The Author Rewards Program is our way of encouraging our best authors. Each module accepted that meets the guidelines earns the author 1 or more points. There is no deadline for this program. When authors earn enough points for a gift item, they can choose to cash in or hold on to them and use them for a gift with a higher point value. These gifts are in addition to the royalties authors earn when their module sells through TeachMac and TeachIT. The reward program is retroactive. All authors who have already contributed have already been assigned 1 point for each module submitted. Future submissions will need to conform to the guidelines to earn points.

Guidelines
Authors earn 1 point each for up to 2 free modules. Modules costing up to $10 earn 1 point. $15 modules earn 2 points*. Bonus points will occasionally be assigned. Bonus points may have specific date requirements. TeachMac/TeachIT will do their best to keep track of all points, but we urge authors to keep track of points as well. Only individual authors are eligible.

February-April 2008 Bonus Points
All modules on Adobe and Microsoft products earn double Points. Vista and Office for Windows modules earn TRIPLE points.

Unless otherwise specified, in all cases where bonuses overlap, authors will receive the higher of any bonus points offered, i.e. bonuses will rarely redouble for the same module.

This program has no deadline, but TeachMac/TeachIT reserve the right to modify or cancel the program at any time for any reason we deem necessary.

* Pricing decision remains with the author, but TeachMac/TeachIT reserves the right to reject modules we deem insufficient for any reason.
** Unless otherwise specified, the term commercial means items that are not free and not shareware.
