General overview of Creative Commons licenses and Open Educational Resources (OER). I first gave this talk at NYU's Open Access Week and am referencing it for the Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) Orientation: p2pu.org/general/course-design-orientation.

5. What is Creative Commons?

6. Creative Commons is an organization
that develops free copyright tools for
creators to use to share their works with
others.

7. Why does it exist?

8. To give creators a choice about how to
share their works.

9. C
Default copyright...
! is automatic
! is “all rights reserved”
! lasts a very long time
! keeps getting extended

10. But some creators want to share their
works under different conditions.

11. That!s where Creative Commons comes
in. With Creative Commons licenses,
creators can choose which freedoms to
grant and which rights to keep.

12. So how does it work?

13. Creative Commons licenses are simple,
standardized ways to grant copyright
permissions to your work.

14. Each license has different conditions.
Which license you choose will depend
on how you want to share your work.

15. Step 1: Choose Conditions
Attribution Share Alike
Non-Commercial No Derivative Works

16. Do you want to receive attribution
(credit) for your work?

17. Do you want others to be able to modify,
adapt, translate, or otherwise remix your
work?

18. Do you want to allow commercial uses
of your work?

19. Do you want others to share
modifications of your work under the
same license?

20. Step 2: Receive a License

21. ! built on copyright law. Does not replace, substitute,
or provide an alternative to copyright.
! does not preclude fair use, but picks up where fair
use leaves off.
! does not affect rights not covered by copyright,
such as publicity or privacy rights.
! irrevocable and perpetual.
! can be changed/removed from a work.
! non-exclusive/allows for dual licensing.

22. CC minimizes transaction costs by granting
the public certain permissions beforehand

23. CC licenses are unique because they
are expressed in three ways.

58. The OER movement is poised to greatly further
global access to and participation in education,
but only if a critical mass of educational
institutions and communities interoperate legally
and technically via Creative Commons.
