This document discusses copyright and Creative Commons (CC) licenses. It explains that copyright is a set of legal rights that protect original creative works. CC licenses provide alternatives to traditional "all rights reserved" copyright by allowing content to be shared and reused under certain conditions. The document outlines the different CC licenses in order from least to most restrictive and notes that CC licenses are used by individuals, organizations, and educational institutions to share content openly while still maintaining attribution rights. It advocates for the use of CC in education as a way to more easily source, reuse, adapt, and share content.
This presentation will help you to build on your knowledge about Creative Commons by exploring in detail the principles of the licences, the conditions that underpin all the licence expressions, and the resulting licences and their characteristics.
This presentation will introduce you to the Creative Commons organisation; the licences; and the way in which application of those licences has facilitated some inspirational examples of sharing in the GLAM sector.

Creative Commons licenses were designed to help
creators utilize the Internet’s potential as a place
for collaboration without copyright law getting in
the way. Since CC was founded, the possibilities
for creativity on the Internet have expanded
tremendously. CC’s products and community must
continue to grow and transform too.

Plotting Paths Through Digital MinefieldsDom Pates
These were the slides that accompanied a workshop/talk I gave for City, University of London's Library and Information Science Masters students, as part of their 'After Hours' series. The session looked at some of the ethical choices we face in the information society, and my particular journey towards a more critical lens on that society.
This set of slides are taken from my first session participating in the programme at the Association for Learning Technology conference (ALTc). ALTc 2019 was held at the University of Edinburgh, and I contributed a workshop that deployed a speculative design approach to consider the possible impact of introducing holographic projection technologies into higher education.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
Introduce myself:
Bellerbys, IT (GCSE, Foundation)
Recently DELTA’d
Taught EFL for 8 yrs (UK & Japan)
Also content creator (music, photography, short films, etc) & enthusiastic user of CC (but not a lawyer/no legal background)
Introduce talk:
(problem) About copyright
(solution) About Creative Commons
Prompt paired audience discussion with two questions?
What is copyright?
How does it affect education?
Consider:
Does it matter?
What does it have to do with me?
Set of legal rights to author/creator of original work, including right to copy, distribute and adapt the work
Exists in law as part of intellectual property (along with trademarks & patents)
When a work is created, it’s automatically protected (all rights reserved) – registration not needed (in UK at least) to exercise copyright
(elicit) Works can include books, written articles, maps, charts, musical compositions, dramatic works, photographs, paintings, sculptures, motion pictures, computer programs, databases…
(Q: how long does it last?) Lasts for 50-100 years after creator’s death, then passes into public domain
Licenses to use copyrighted works are required (in UK from CLA – Copyright Licensing Agency)
Use of copyrighted works often comes under concept of ‘Fair Dealing’ – this is a legal defence rather than a legal right – no ‘Fair Use’ in UK, unlike US where it covers copying for education
Issue of plagiarism (academic offence, not legal one – doesn’t become one unless intent to profit from copyrighted work)
Existing copyright regime needs reforming in face of Information Age – clash with the ‘Net era, where sharing is commonplace & computers make copies of everything – e.g. until 2003, technically illegal to view a website (Copyright, Designs & Patents Act, 1988)
Traditional content distributors monopolise cultural products, which restricts culture
Hinders ‘human right’ to ’freedom of knowledge’
To many, teaching = the spread of knowledge. If that knowledge is restricted, so is that learning opportunity.
An NPO that ‘enables the sharing & use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools’
Offers series of licences that allow issuer to communicate which rights they wish to reserve on their work (‘some rights reserved’)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(All rights…)(Some rights…)(Public domain)
Elements of licences
Attributionall licences have this – give a credit, but not in a way that suggests an endorsement by author
Non-Commercialothers can copy, distribute, display, perform and modify your work for any purpose other than commercially (unless they get your permission)
No Derivativesothers can copy, distribute, display and perform only original copies of your work
Share-Alikeothers can copy, distribute, display, perform, and modify your work, so long as it’s on the same terms as original licence
Licence combinations:
Attribution (the least restrictive)
Attribution – Share Alike (the ‘Wikipedia’ one)
Attribution – No Derivatives
Attribution – Non-Commercial
Attribution – Non-Commercial – Share Alike
Attribution – Non-Commercial – No Derivatives (the most restrictive)
Who uses CC licences?
Obama
MIT
Wikipedia
OU
Copyright issue becomes blurred with rise of online and e-learning
Cleared digital resources are easier to source, reuse and adapt
Not misusing copyright is good ‘netiquette’
Getting appropriate copyright clearance can take too long/academic staff don’t have time to absorb complexities of licence
Institutional licences may not cover all student work, e.g. that which incorporates images and text from multiple sources that is shared with others
greater risk of prosecution for copyright infringement – as content industries lose more income in face of challenge to business models, they may become more vigorous in enforcement – under Digital Economy Act (2010), online copyright infringers can have internet blocked
Also within Google’s ‘Advanced Search’ filters, etc

What
Teaching, learning and research resources in public domain or licensed, permitting free use or repurposing
Examples include learning content (lessons plans, essays, books…), tools (desktop software, online communities) & implementation resources
Who
Being used by UNESCO, Harvard, Columbia, UNU, OU…
Why
A contribution to the global knowledge commons
Increased internal sharing of resources
A wider range of resources for in-house students to be able to make use of
Marketing/reputation capital benefits via SEO
Encouraging creativity increases participation and enhances learning
This is not piracy – this is a ‘literacy for this generation’ (Lessig)
