This presentation was given to Christchurch Connected Educators on 23 October, 2014. It introduces the Creative Commons licences and Creative Commons policies for New Zealand schools.

2. Our goal:
“Universal access to research
and education, full participation
in culture.”

3. 1
1. Free Licences
More free More restrictive

4. 2. Projects

5. We argue:
Publicly funded works should be
held in common, to enable the
active reuse of our common
culture and knowledge

6. First (obvious) point:
It's much easier to share work for
collaboration and reuse.

7. Second point:
This means you cannot predict
who will find your work useful.

8. Media Text Hack

9. CC Kiwi

10. MIT Reader Stories
“I am in-between post-docs and I am having difficulty
obtaining journal access”
–Post-doc, US
“I don’t have access to many articles due to … sanctions. … I
really appreciate this policy of MIT that helped me a lot.”
– Researcher, Middle East
“For a small, publicly funded …media like the one I direct…
academic knowledge… can be quite time-consuming and
often very expensive.”

11. Third point:
There's more content than ever
(and it's easy to find & use).

('read-only' --> 'read-write')

19. Fifth point:
Obvious potential to share a
massive amount of educational
resources for reuse

20. 50,000+ teachers
2,500+ schools
Enormous potential to save
time, money & frustration.

21. 50,000+ teachers
2,500+ schools
Enormous potential to share &
collaborate.

22. Sixth point:
The legal barriers to
dissemination & reuse remain.

23. Copyright Graffiti Sign by Horia Varlan

24. Copyright is very restrictive.
Automatic.
Applies online.
No 'c' required.
Lasts for 50 years after death.

25. Seventh point:
Teachers don’t own copyright
to resources they produce in
the course of their employment.

26. Eighth point:
Most schools don't have clear
IP policies on sharing & reuse.

27. “Grayson, Westley, Stanislaus County...” via US Nat. Archives
https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVT What to Do? .
No Known Copyright

28. Solution:
Develop, share and reuse Open
Educational Resources

29. #1:
School: Adopt clear & transparent
copyright policies

30. #2:
Teacher: Introduce finding,
reusing and making open content
into your 'workflow'

32. Here's the pitch:
Creative Commons licences are
clear, simple, free, legally robust
and you keep your copyright.

33. Here's the pitch:
CC policies clarify IP at schools,
while enabling sharing and
collaboration.

34. Four Licence Elements

35. Attribution

37. No Derivatives

38. Share Alike

39. Six Licences

44. Cabinet encourages BoTs to take
NZGOAL into account & use CC
licensing when releasing
resources

45. BoTs can adapt ASHS's free, CC
licensed off-the-shelf policy.
This policy simply gives
permission for teachers to
share.

46. 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.

47. “Teachers are collaborating more, and
they’re also involving their students in
the development of those teaching and
learning resources.”
Mark Osborne, ASHS
