Transcript of Creative Commons in NZ Schools, July 2014
Our goal:“Universal access to research and education, full participation in culture.”
More free More restrictive
1
1. Free Licences
2. Projects
We argue:Publicly funded works should be held in common, to enable the active reuse of our common culture and knowledge
First (obvious) point:It's much easier to share work for collaboration and reuse.
Second point:This means you cannot predict who will find your work useful.

Third point:There's more content than ever
(and it's easy to find & use).
‘A Calm at a Mediterranean Port,’ 1770 by Claude-Joseph Vernet No known copyright
The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los AngelesGetty Museum
Man from the city, 1971, by Jan Nigro. Purchased 1971. Te Papa (1971-0036-2)

Fourth point:The technical barriers to access and reuse are dropping ('read-only' --> 'read-write')
‘Lego Life Lessons’ by the Manning Brothers. CC-BY-NC-SA

Fifth point:Obvious potential to share a massive amount of educational resources for reuse
50,000+ teachers2,500+ schools
Enormous potential to savetime, money & frustration.
50,000+ teachers2,500+ schools
Enormous potential to share &collaborate.
Sixth point:The legal barriers to
dissemination & reuse remain.

https://flic.kr/p/7vBD4TCopyright
Copyright is very restrictive. Automatic.Applies online.No 'c' required.Lasts for 50 years after death.
This means you legally need an exception or permission.
Exception = Fair Dealing (v limited)
Permission = Licence (CLNZ or CC)Or ask
Seventh point:Teachers don’t own copyright to resources they produce in
the course of their employment.
Eighth point:Most schools don't have clear IP policies on sharing & reuse.
Ninth point:As teachers and students share
online, copyright is going to become more of a problem.

https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVT What to Do?.
Solution #1:School: Adopt clear & transparent copyright policies
Solution #2:Teacher: Introduce finding, reusing and making open content into your workflow
Here's the pitch:Creative Commons licences are clear, simple, free, legally robust and you keep your copyright.
Here's the pitch:CC policies clarify IP at schools, while enabling sharing and collaboration.

BoTs can adapt ASHS's free, CC licensed off-the-shelf policy.
This policy simply gives permission for teachers to share.
CC PolicyAll teaching materials:
1. No need to ask permission
2. Keep resources when you leave
3. Teachers receive credit when their work is reused
4. Make use of the N4L Portal.
“When I look outside at other schools, I think, why aren’t you doing this?”
Nathan Parker, Warrington School
“Teachers are collaborating more, and they’re also involving their students in the development of those teaching and
learning resources.”
