  Creative Commons • CreativeCommons is a nonprofit organization that promotes the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools. • Creative Common licenses are free, easy-to-use copyright licenses which provide a simple, standardized way to give the public permission to share and use your creative work — on conditions of your choice. • CC licenses let you easily change your copyright terms from the default of “all rights reserved” to “some rights reserved.” • Creative Commons licenses are not an alternative to copyright. They work alongside copyright and enable you to modify your copyright terms to best suit your needs.

  Open Educational Resources •Open Education "...is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge." —The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation • "Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching, learning, research, and other purposes." (Wikipedia article) • “OERs are teaching, learning and research materials in any medium, digital or otherwise, that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.“ - UNESCO

  Creative Commons andOpen Educational Resources • The Internet and digital technologies have transformed how people learn. Educational resources are no longer static and scarce, but adaptable and widely available, allowing educational institutions, teachers, and learners to actively participate in a global exchange of knowledge via Open Educational Resources (OER). • Creative Commons provides the legal and technical infrastructure essential to the long-term success of OER, making it possible for educational resources to be widely accessible, adaptable, interoperable, and discoverable.
