This document discusses the history and future of open educational resources (OER). It provides a timeline of major developments in OER from 1998 to the present. These developments include the introduction of the term "open content" in 1998 and the launch of initiatives like MIT OpenCourseWare in 2002. The document also outlines major issues for OER going forward, such as search and discovery, quality versus cost, and incentives for teachers. It describes the Creative Commons licensing system for OER, including the options for conditions like attribution and restrictions on commercial use or modifications.
This report provides an interim summary of research findings about content creators in the United States. It finds that most creators are amateurs and few have legal training. Photos are the most common type of work created and shared online. While over 80% of creators share their works online, frequency of sharing varies by content type, with games and podcasts being shared most often. The report profiles creator demographics, content types, and sharing behaviors to understand commercial and noncommercial use of copyrighted materials.
Introduction to the open policy network and institute for open leadershipCreative Commons
The document proposes establishing an Institute for Open Leadership to train emerging leaders in open licensing, policies, and practices. The institute would host a week-long intensive training program for 20 participants each year, connecting them with experts in open fields. Participants would develop capstone projects applying what they learned to make materials openly available at their own institutions. The goal is to foster a new generation of leaders who promote open policies and practices.

Creative Commons Law and the GeoWeb presentationCreative Commons
1) Creative Commons licenses can be used for open geodata and databases as copyright law treats data and content similarly.
2) Good design principles are important for open data, and Creative Commons licenses keep things simple without imposing extra restrictions.
3) Creative Commons is beginning the process for a new version 4.0 license and is seeking feedback from the open geodata community on issues like non-copyright database rights and growing an interoperable open data commons.
Our media product uses conventions such as titles, sound, camerawork and editing to engage the audience in the story and characters. It develops these forms by using original music from different genres. It challenges expectations by featuring a female lead in an action genre typically dominated by male leads.
This sharing is from our speaker Angel Wu who shared us her Mobile App design experience on our May event. UiGathering is an non-profit organization to promote user experience design and research in Taiwan.
Open licensing workshop at OGP Civil Society DayCreative Commons
This document discusses the importance of open licensing for open government initiatives. It argues that open licensing provides legal clarity, prevents chilling effects, and maximizes reuse of government information. It describes how Creative Commons licenses work by allowing copyright holders to choose which rights to reserve and which to grant. The document recommends using CC0 to waive copyright and the Open Definition as a baseline for open licenses. The goal is to establish consistent, interoperable licensing that minimizes restrictions and maximizes reuse of government information.
Casserly guest lecture for MIT Open Education class (March 10, 2011)Creative Commons
Creative Commons licenses provide a standardized way for creators to grant copyright permissions for their work. They offer several conditions like attribution, non-commercial use, no derivatives, or share alike. Creative Commons has had a major impact on open education by improving search, discovery, translations, customization and affordability of open educational resources through its use of standardized licenses across over 55 jurisdictions. Over 365 million items are now licensed under Creative Commons, including over 175 million photos on Flickr alone.
The document discusses the layers of the Earth, rocks and minerals, and bones and muscles. It begins by describing the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere. It then covers rocks like quartz, amethyst, and agate, and minerals such as gypsum, azurite, and hematite. Finally, it examines bones including the cranium, vertebral column, femur, tibia, and patella, as well as muscles like the pectoral, abdominal, gluteal, and quadriceps.
Creative Commons was founded in 2001 to develop legal tools that enable sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge. Their main solution is a set of copyright licenses that allow creators to select which rights they wish to reserve and which permissions they want to grant, providing a standardized way to give broad permissions for others to legally share, use, and build upon creative works. The licenses address the problems with traditional "all rights reserved" copyright that makes sharing and collaboration online difficult, by offering creators an alternative of "some rights reserved" and lowering transaction costs for the public seeking to make use of licensed works.
The exchange between open access and open educational resources: What can we ...Creative Commons
This is presentation given at the 2014 SPARC Open Access meeting in Kansas City, MO on March 3, 2014. The presentation was given by Timothy Vollmer from Creative Commons as a part of a panel on policy & advocacy.
The document summarizes updates from the Creative Commons organization, including updates to their CC 4.0 license and best practices for open licensing. It discusses Creative Commons' work on text and data mining in relation to licensing, promoting open science, and their Open Policy Network and Institute for Open Leadership, which aims to train new leaders in open practices and policies.
Creative Commons develops legal and technical tools to allow for greater sharing of creative works through copyright licenses and dedicating works to the public domain. It was founded in 2001 as a nonprofit organization and has grown to operate worldwide. Creative Commons licenses provide simple, standardized ways for creators to grant copyright permissions for use, modification, and distribution of their works. The licenses combine options for attribution, sharing-alike, non-commercial use, and prohibiting modifications. They allow creators to choose how much control to retain over their works while enabling greater access and sharing.
The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and how foundations and philanthropists can support OER through funding initiatives. It suggests foundations allocate $2 billion over four years for open licenses textbooks for 90 university courses. It also advocates for integrating open principles into philanthropic efforts by making open the default and supporting open through missions, programs, and infrastructure. Technology is said to deserve a bigger role in advancing open education.
This document discusses the benefits of openness and sharing, including having over 100 affiliates reducing friction, transaction costs, and redundancy across over 70 jurisdictions through a dynamic and scalable system. It cites musician Jonathan Coulton saying having a Creative Commons license for all his music helped increase his traffic, donations, sales, and fans more than locking up his music would have. It also lists upcoming launch events in several cities worldwide for http://thepowerofopen.org to discuss these topics.
