\"CC<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

I have written a few blog posts about the importance of using appropriately licensed materials in your courses and for your digital projects. Finding quality images, audio, video, etc. can be daunting. When you find something that you want to use, you must make sure the license allows you to do so.<\/p>\n

I recently completed the Creative Commons (CC) Certificate<\/a> course. The Certificate is an in-depth course about CC licenses, open practices and the ethos of the Commons. I was excited when the opportunity to take this 10-week Certificate course came about. I felt knowing more about Creative Commons would help me to better understand and use CC licensed works appropriately. Also, I wanted to be able to apply CC licenses to my own work. While I knew some things about Creative Commons before starting the course, I realized as I got into the course that there was a lot I didn\u2019t know about CC licenses.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m writing this blog post to share information and resources that may help you understand more about CC licenses.<\/p>\n

What is a Creative Commons (CC) license? A CC license is one of several public copyright licenses that enable the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted \"work\". A CC license is used when an author wants to give other people the right to share, use, and build upon a work that they (the author) have created. <\/p>\n

\n\"copyright<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

All rights are reserved with copyright. Re-use requires permission from the copyright owner. Whereas, some rights are reserved with CC licenses. Re-use is permitted under the specification shared in the Creative Commons license. The image above describes how CC licenses relate to traditional copyright and the public domain.<\/p>\n

If this has this piqued your interest, check out our Creative Commons (CC) Wiki Resource<\/a> for additional information about CC licenses and CC licensed works.<\/p>\n
