Introduction to Creative
       Commons
Let's begin with the obvious
Potential of digital technologies
       and the Internet
Potential to:
share teaching resources
Potential to:
collaborate
Potential to:
 save time
Potential to:
save money
Potential to:
make better resources
Potential to:
stop reinventing various wheels
Potential to:
share, remix and reuse
Potential to:
   learn
However:
Two problems
1. Copyright
2. Teachers don't hold copyright
       to their resources
Two solutions,
 but first....
What is copyright?
Bundle of rights
Automatic
(no Ā© required)
Limits users ability to
copy, distribute, perform, adapt
*applies online*
Lasts for 50 years after death
What Is the Purpose of Copyright?
To Expand the Commons
Statute of Anne, 1710:
ā€œFor the encouragement of
         learningā€
USA Constitution:
ā€œTo promote the progress of
  science and useful arts.ā€
Copyright was a pragmatic
        solution
Copyright was a balance between

So what?
Much of our cultural heritage
cannot be legally reused, which
        means that...
Many online practices infringe
         copyright
