Open licensing of instructional materials such as textbooks, videos, and other related resources makes possible free sharing and remixing which reduces cost barriers for students. Creative Commons provides the legal infrastructure for easily sharing creative works including instructional materials but how do the different creative commons licenses indicate a resource can be re-used. Join us for an interactive session of playbook license scenarios where you can test your knowledge of the allowed OER re-use based on license type. Please join the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) for our October webinar: When: Oct 12, 10amPST/1pmEST Featured Speakers: Quill West, OER Program Manager, Pierce College District Cable Green, Director of Open Education, Creative Commons

10. LOCATE THE POLLING
FEATURE
It should appear under your name.

11. LET’S TRY IT
A.
I’m pretty confident about open
licensing. I came to reinforce
what I know.
B.
I’ve heard of open licensing. I
really like the Creative Commons
videos, but I don’t feel like I can
apply the licenses.
C.
I’m an author. I want to apply a
license, but I have questions.
D.
I’m responsible for helping people
selecting and using OER, but I
worry that I’m getting it wrong
when interpreting the licenses.
Help!

15. Consider Your Plans
Local
We can rely somewhat
on fair use.
Library materials are
paid for, so accessible.
We can make changes
fairly easily.
Sharing
Fair Use is less
applicable, because of
distribution.
Try to think of
“downstream” users.
Subscription materials
are not available
everywhere.
Grants
The funder may have
restrictions.
Greater need for
adaptation work.
Downstream users
matter a lot.

◈ Present each license

Please put questions in the chat window.
We’ll take them at the end.

18. Elements of Licenses
The 4 elements work together to create the 6 licenses. If you
remember the elements, the licenses are easier to interpret.
Attribution Share-Alike No-
Derivative
NonCommercial

19. Versions
The numbers following a CC license (e.g.
2.0, 3.0, 4.0) refer to the license version.
Kind of like software, there are different
release dates for licenses.
Important updates are covered on the
Creative Commons Wiki.

20. From here on we’re talking about CC 4.0.

21. The Licenses

22. Remix and CC
Licenses

23. "CC License Compatibility Chart" by Kennisland is in the Public Domain, CC0

24. Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
❖ Give credit to the original author.
❖ Link to the original.
❖ Best practice to mention major changes from the original.
Attribution is a requirement on all six licenses.

26. SELECT THE ATTRIBUTION YOU
WOULD USE
C.
“Chemistry” by OpenStax
is licensed CC-BY 4.0.
B.
OpenStax, Chemistry.
OpenStax CNX. Jun 20,
2016
http://cnx.org/contents/85abf193-
2bd2-4908-8563-
90b8a7ac8df6@9.311
D.
Materials on this page are
from OpenStax Chemistry.
A.
“Open Textbook”
presentation by Quill West
use CC-BY 4.0, including
“Chemistry” by OpenStax.

27. Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0
❖ Any derivative must be released with the same (or a
compatible) license.

28. Can I remix a CC-BY-SA image with
text that is CC-BY-NC?
A.
Yes, because both the
image and text are CC
licensed.
B.
No, because you can’t mix
BY-SA with BY-NC (they
aren’t compatible). The
remixed work has to be
BY-SA.
C.
It’s borderline, but you
could do it as long as you
state in the finished work
that some work isn’t BY-
SA.
D.
You could do it if you got
permission from the
person holding the BY-NC
licensed text, but you must
tell them that the remix will
be licensed BY-SA.

29. Creative Commons Attribution
Non-Commercial 4.0
❖ Cannot be used for commercial purposes or monetary
compensation.

30. Should we sell NC licensed materials
in our Bookstore?
A.
Absolutely not; non-
commercial is pretty clear.
Don’t sell it, period.
B.
It’s okay, as long as you
are only recuperating
costs, not making a profit.
C.
No one really knows, so it
is probably best to ask
your lawyer’s advice.
D.
It’s probably best to ask
the copyright holder for
permission to reproduce
and distribute the work
through your Bookstore.

31. Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share-Alike
4.0
❖ Cannot be used for commercial purposes or monetary
compensation.
❖ Any derivative must be released with the same (or a
compatible) license.

32. Is the CC-BY-NC-SA license
compatible with any other license?
A.
Yep, the CC-BY and CC-
BY-SA license are
perfectly compatible.
B.
Pretty much only the CC-
BY license works with CC-
BY-NC-SA.
C.
No way. The CC-BY-NC-
SA stands alone.
D.
The CC-BY-NC and the
CC-BY license are
compatible with the CC-
BY-NC-SA license.

33. Creative Commons Attribution Non-Derivative 4.0
❖ Cannot distribute a modified version.
❖ Different format does not mean a modification.

34. Does adding captions to a video make it a
derivative work?
A.
Yes, because you
changed the video.
B.
No, because you’ve only
enhanced the original.
C.
Yes, but it is okay because
the captions are added for
accessibility reasons.
D.
It depends on how the
captions are added. Some
services, like Amara, add
captions by putting a mask
over the original- this isn’t
a derivative.

35. Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Non-
Derivative 4.0
❖ Cannot be used for commercial purposes or monetary
compensation.
❖ Cannot distribute a derivative work.

36. I found an CC-BY-NC-ND website, but I want
to print it and give it to students. Can I
reformat it for printing?
A.
No. Non-Derivative means
you can’t change it at all.
B.
It’s fine because the
license permits changes of
a technical nature to
support new formats.
C.
Grey area. You could get
away with it, but couldn’t
recommend it to others.
D.
Don’t mess with that ND
licensed stuff. It isn’t really
OER, so just ignore it.

37. Is it a Remix or a Collection?
 A remix is a blending of two things.
 A collection might put two works side by
side.
Is it appropriate to put a non-derivative
work into a collection next to CC-BY
Licensed work?
A.
Yes, as long as the non-
derivative work isn’t
changed.
B.
No, because shifting it to a
collection means you’ve
made a derivative.

38. Some Final words on Creative Commons
Licenses.
◈ Openly licensed work is still
copyrighted.
◈ When in doubt, ask the
owner.
◈ It’s worth your time to read
the legal code some time.
◈ Remember downstream
users.
