This is a presentation to help any creators of text, video, images, art or anything creative share their ideas and spread their name using Creative Commons licenses. Using a CC license does not mean that you give up copyright. It just means that you give prior permission to users.

A brief overview of Creative Commons licenses. This definitely won't tell you everything (for that, head over to https://creativecommons.org/), but it will help you to get started. This talk was given on February 2, 2015 as an Ignite Session at ALA Midwinter 2015 (http://alamw15.ala.org/node/26554).
The original description: "Are you wondering what "Creative Commons" means? Are you having a hard time understanding the differences between the types of licenses? Would you like to help your patrons and colleagues find content that is freely available for reuse without copyright concerns? Would you like to learn how to license your own materials under these terms? This talk will give you a crash course on Creative Commons terminology and will provide you with resources for incorporating these topics and materials into your work at any type of library."
In the ICT class, we learned about Creative Commons License, and also watched video. So students make the presentation only using the Creative Commons site. It was hard to make presentation with only one site.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Head of CC Education
How to Spread Your Ideas Globally
Using Creative Commons Licenses
2. CC is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to making it
easier for people to share and build upon the works of
others consistent with copyright. We provide free
licenses to enable sharing
What is Creative Commons?
3. CC is Dedicated to Helping
teachers
artists
creators
everyone
share their ideas with the world
All Rights Reserved locks up your ideas
12. CC Mission
Our mission is to minimize barriers to sharing and
reuse of educational materials — legal barriers,
technical barriers, and social barriers.
13. What is an “open” resource?
The ability to:
• Access
• Share — Copy, Distribute, Display
• Adapt — Perform, Translate
• Derive — Remix
The openness of a resource increases with the
permissions given.
Allow more permissions=
More open.
14. CC & OER can change the world
• Education is a public good worldwide
• But the quality of education varies.
— By region
— By school
— By class
• Open Educational Resources (OER) change this,
by promoting (e)quality education around the world.
The internet is a universal medium.
It can be accessed by anyone.

CC helps eliminate legal barriers to sharing

17. Expression is often restricted.
• Because expression can be, and often is, fully
copyrighted.
• Copyrighted material cannot be shared, adapted,
derived, or even accessed... without express
permission by the owner of the copyright.
• But when people, especially educators, put things
on the web, it is usually for the express purpose of
making it freely available.
• Unfortunately, copyright overrules this intent.
And if you don’t license your work to be open, it
automatically defaults to all rights reserved copyright.
18. CC licenses build on copyright.
• CC Licenses are a form of copyright. They do not
replace copyright, but instead grant a priori
permissions for certain uses that would otherwise
be disallowed.
• So the author still retains their rights to a work; they
simply choose to modify those rights they do
not need or want.
• This makes perfect sense in education especially,
since most people want to share and build off of
each other’s work.
19. CC offers an easy way to share materials, vs
the murky interpretations of fair use in
copyright law.

23. We encourage use of CC BY ...
• Allows the most freedoms without giving up
attribution, which is important for credibility in
education and for spreading your ideas
• Is compatible with every other CC license, allowing
the most room for innovation via collaboration
BY
• Does not encroach on the freedom of potential
users by enforcing a specified use
24. CC BY
Attribution Only
Lets others distribute,
remix, tweak, and
build upon your work,
even commercially,
as long as they credit
you for the original
creation.
BY Consider
• You are a creator of a work, be it a
• But as a professional in your field, you
want to be recognized for your work.
• Basically, you want your stuff to be used
widely—by the most people possible.
This is a great case for CC BY.

or an educational video game.
25. CC BY
Attribution Only
Lets others distribute,
remix, tweak, and
build upon your work,
even commercially,
as long as they credit
you for the original
creation.
BY But what if
• Someone takes my stuff and locks it away,
defeating the purpose of making it open?
• Someone uses my stuff inappropriately,
while my name is attached to it?
That’s impossible with digital content. Even if
someone remixed the work and re-licensed it
under full copyright, your original work is still
available, free for anybody to use.
• CC BY specifically states that you do not
endorse any works derived from yours.
• So it doesn’t matter; non-endorsement
clause and moral rights allow you to request
a take-down and seek damages anyway.
Boo!
Hurray!
26. Remember: CC BY
• Allows the most freedoms with attribution
(important for credibility in education)
• Is compatible with every other CC license, so...
BY
• All the while NOT encroaching on the freedom of
potential users by enforcing a specified use
i.e. CC BY-NC-SA might not allow print versions of your work
to be given away for even a small recovery cost.
New and creative uses can develop that were
not possible before!
27. ND
• No Derivates license means users can not
make any changes to the work
28. CC BY-ND
Attribution
No Derivatives
Allows for
redistribution,
commercial and non-
commercial, as long
as it is passed along
unchanged and in
whole, with credit to
you.
ND Consider
• You are part of a group of experts that has
finally finished a protocol for data curation.
• Every word was carefully considered, and
it took months of meetings to complete.
• You and the group want to share it, and
you don’t particularly care how it is used...
... AS LONG AS it does not get altered in any way.
For this purpose, CC BY-ND is appropriate.
29. CC BY-ND
Attribution
No Derivatives
Allows for
redistribution,
commercial and non-
commercial, as long
as it is passed along
unchanged and in
whole, with credit to
you.
ND But consider too
• Foreign colleagues want to translate the
protocol. They must seek permission before
they can do so.
?
• Any time someone would like to adapt your
work, the group’s permission is required—
Even for the simple purposes of technical
and social interoperability.
• A fellow expert wants to adapt the work for
display on PDAs. He must also seek
permission.
?
30. Share Alike SA
• Share Alike means if you remix or create a
new creative work, you must share it the
same way it was shared with you. It does
not obligate you to create something.
31. CC BY-NC-
SA
Attribution
Non-commercial
Share Alike
Lets others:
• remix, tweak, and
build upon your work
non-commercially.
• download and
redistribute your work.
• translate, remix, and
produce new stories
based on your work.
All new work based
on yours will carry
the same license, so
any derivatives will
also be licensed non-
commercial.
SA Consider
• A university decides to release course
content openly.
Hurray!
• However, much of the content is third-party
material.
• It is difficult to get rights-holders to give
them content without the NC term.
This is a case where the university may
want to adopt CC BY-NC-SA,
since it is necessary to reach an
agreement with all their rights-holders.
33. But what if
• Rights holders are willing to give materials
to the university without the NC restriction.
Hurray!
• So the university applies the NC term.
This is a bad reason to use NC because:
• However, the university doesn’t want anyone
selling content without their permission.
Boo!
• People only buy content if they can’t
access the free version, or if they want to
access it differently.
i.e. A publishing co. decides to make
hardcopies available at minimal prices
(to recover printing costs) … to students in Bangladesh!
CC BY-NC-
SA
But they can’t,
because it is
NC licensed.
And they don’t want
to go through the
red tape of
negotiations.
34. CC combination license
• Users can use any combination of the
licenses. Check the Creative Commons

52. Technical Pluses & Minuses
CC licenses are visible to search engines
• CC Licenses specify licensing restrictions
on works in metadata
•Much OER is NOT picked up by search engines
such as Google,
Yahoo and Bing

Educational Technology 4(6). Nov-Dec 2007. Pages 5-9.
53. Other Technical Concerns
Incompatibility of:
• Encryption protocols
• Video formats
• Streaming technologies
So that even though OER may be licensed openly,
they are prevented from being used openly,
negating the point of openness.
A great deal of “open educational resources” are
encased in technology not easily translatable to more
universal, interoperable standards.

Original theory of change we developed in 2002
Focus on content – quickly realized that we needed to address barriers to use (Creative Commons) and understand and stimulate use –
we seeded many projects to begin to understand the space and the traction of the space
Explicit goal – equalizing access – level the playing field
First and second bullet address the issue of access – level the playing field
Third and fourth address potential transformative impact on teaching and learning
Third, personalization – addressing unique norms and cultures, creates efficiencies – don’t always need to start from scratch
Fourth, allows for the wisdom on the masses, and rapid prototype development.
Unique added value -- these two characteristics are fundamental to Open Education Resources.
In phase two – making explicit that what was originally implicit –
Goal of Open Educational Resources is to impact teaching and learning
For 2008 we have selected three strands to focus on – open gaming, open textbooks and participatory learning and– in 2009 will add teacher training
Infrastructure – provides the base for that to happen – but beyond infrastructure – need innovation and feedback what we learn from the innovation to both rapidly prototype on the innovation and to further support infrastructure
Note feedback loops
Many players
higher education institutions
many different types of content, one size does not fit all
Across continents
European schoolnet – 19 countries
Col – virutal university of the small states
Wgbh – teachers domain
Teacher ed in sub saharan africa – portal literacy, numeracy, life skills
CM portfolio of online courses
Statistics course – random experiment last spring
Students took online stats course available 24/7 outperform students who took the traditional lecture course and
accelerated their learning – completed the course in 8 weeks vis-à-vis the traditional 15 week course.
What does this tell us about how and when students learn best? Need to be repeated to be generalizable to students beyond Carnegie Mellon
