Creative Commons for Educators
Creative Commons powers the open education movement with tools that help create better, more flexible and sustainable open educational resources (OER), practices, and policies.
Creative Commons licenses are the most popular open licenses among education projects around the world. This unit will introduce you to the specifics of using CC licenses and CC licensed content for education purposes.
This unit has five sections:
- OER, Open Textbooks, Open Courses
- Finding, Evaluating, and Adapting Resources
- Creating and Sharing OER
- Open Pedagogy / Practices
- Opening Up Your Institution
There are also additional resources if you are interested in learning more about any of the topics covered in this unit.
Before you jump in, consider joining the Creative Commons Open Education Platform. Your input can help us identify, plan, and coordinate multi-national open education content, practices, and policy projects to collaboratively solve education challenges around the world.
