Layers of open
AVAILABILITY (freely available resources)
TECHNICAL (open formats)
LEGAL (the freedom to share and adapt resources)
OER is educational resources (lesson plans, quizzes, syllabi,
instructional modules, simulations, etc.) that are freely available
for use, reuse, adaptation, and sharing

Licensing is important
Explicit permission is needed
License choice matters
Reach your full potential by sharing
Provides free licences that creators can apply to their work to signal to others how that work can be used.
Non-profit
Founded in 2001
These academics became concerned that the default copyright laws that applied in most countries were restricting creativity in the digital environment by preventing people from being able to access, remix and distribute copyright material online
Taking inspiration from the open source movement, they decided to develop a set of licences that creators could use to make their material more freely available without giving up their copyright
They wanted to replace the standard all rights reserved model with a new, more flexible, some rights reserved
This creates a pool of material that can be shared and reused, legally...

License Elements
Share Alike remix only if you let others remix
No Derivative Works no remixing
Noncommercial no commercial use
Attribution credit the author
The first CC licences were released in 2002
The central to each of the CC licences are the four licence elements Attribution, noncommercial, no derivative and sharealike
These represent restrictions that copyright owners may want to put on how people can use their material.
As you can see, each of the elements has a symbol that can be used to represent each of these elements
this makes the licences easier understand in theory, once a person is familiar with the CC licences, they should be able to recognise what uses are allowed simply by looking at the symbols
Attribution-ShareAlike
Attribution
Attribution-Noncommercial
Attribution-NoDerivatives
Attribution-Noncommercial-NoDerivatives
Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike
Users can mix and match these elements to set the conditions of use for their material
So, for example, an author may be happy to allow private uses of their work, but may want to limit how it can be used commercially.
They may also want people to remix their work, but only so long as that person attributes them and makes the new work available for others to remix
So they can choose the Attribution-noncommercial-sharealike licence

In writing the licences, the main goal was to ensure that the licences are:
Voluntary contrary to some claims, CC isnt anti-copyright. It just aims to provide options for those copyright owners who do want to make their material more freely available
Flexible unlike other parts of the open access movement, CC licences are specifically designed to provide a range of options for licensors, so that they can choose exactly how they want their material to be used
Easy to understand the academics designing the licences felt that one of the biggest problems with default copyright law is that its so hard for both copyright owners and users to understand. So the licences are specifically designed to be as simple as possible.
And, of course, freely available for everyone to use
Creative Commons comes in. Hopefully youll remember from the last lecture I gave,
Before you use remember to:
obey the licence
attribute
think about other rights (privacy etc)
use your common sense

Before you license, think:
Who do you want to use the material, and when?Are you choosing the right licence? Do you have the rights to license the material? Are you using anyone elses material?Are you sure? You can't change your mind (or not easily)
