3. Outline
• Intro & Survey (5 min)
• Part 1: Creative Commons licenses (15
minutes)
• Activity: Copy that Image! (10 minutes)
• Part 2: Finding OER & OER resources (15
minutes)
4. Outcomes
• Identify the different types of Creative
Commons licenses and what each one allows
and does not allow.
• Correctly attribute an open resource using the
TASL framework.
• Locate resources about OER and open
textbooks

any type of educational materials that are in
the public domain or introduced with an
open license. The nature of these open
materials means that anyone can legally

them.”

Sharks are a group of fish characterized by a
cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits
on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that
are not fused to the head.
18. Activity: Copy That Image! (10 min)
Use the Creative Commons search engine, you will
1. Find a CC licensed image (maybe of your home
institution?)
2. Add a copy of the image to a collaborative
Google doc
3. Write out an attribution statement using TASL
format.
CC search: search.creativecommons.org
Doc: bit.ly/ontarioshare
step 2 is to simply receive the license
there are 6 CC licenses that reflect a spectrum of rights
for the photos I share on Flickr, I use the Attribution only license, which means that anyone can download, copy, distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon them, even commercially, as long as they give me credit
of course the 3 layer approach of CC licenses and CC0 Public Domain Dedication helps communicate rights
humans can understand a simple deed with primary rights and responsibilities described with those pervasive icons you see
lawyers we have a legally enforceable legal code
machine readable metadata that can be understood by search engines so you can filter for content based on the CC licenses
there are six CC licenses that offer a spectrum of rights
the most recognized and widely used license for Open Access is CC BY
allows for unconditional reuse of the licensed material except for requirement that author is credited
public domain tools - CC0 public domain dedication is a waiver of copyright and related rights thus placing the content into the public domain
