Addictive Learning That Sticks

INTRODUCTION

In this CC micro-course, you will learn how you can make your creative work available, e.g., course materials, for others to use, build upon legally, and to share using several copyright (©) supplementary CC licenses; for example,

1) Copyright

2) CC

3) CC Symbols

4) CC Licenses

5) Examples

The CC licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. The course will introduce you to an organization which has been setup  to protect your work with six different licenses that you place on your blog, course, website, etc. when you publish your work. You can choose a range of licenses from the most accommodating type to the most restrictive. So, you can go ahead and publish without fear.

In creating this 'Spaced Out' micro-course, the shotgun approach is used.  This micro-course will introduce you to CC and its generic licenses as well as why, when, and how to use it. Each question is only an introduction to more knowledge. The CC micro-course consists of 16 questions which includes two problem sets delivered via adaptive-repetition modality which you are free to modify when you enroll. The 16 questions (Multiple Choice O, Multiple Correct Answers , and/or Fill In The Blank) are comprised of Factual Type - 8 questions (50%); Conceptual Type - 6 questions (37.5%); Problem Solving Type - 2 questions (12.5%). After answering each question, you will immediately be presented with your result as well as additional supporting material for review and further reflection. You will then have a choice to either retire the question or have it repeated as specified in the initial course spacing options when you enroll.

How do you go about publishing your creative work with protection and finding material (text, images, audio, video, etc.) that you can incorporate into such work? A website, as a whole, is not protected by copyright. Rather, individual components of it are likely to be protected. For example:

• text, including song lyrics
• photos, logos and other images
• music
• sound recordings
• video files and animations
• tables of words or symbols

In most cases, you will need permission to upload onto your website any material that wasn’t created by you or your organization. If someone owns copyright in material and supplies it to you directly to use on a website, you will have "implied permission" to use it or "explicit permission" when they use a CC generic license with their material.

When can you use material without permission? You won’t need to get copyright permission if:

• the material is not protected by copyright (for example, ideas, information, names*)
• copyright has expired
• you are not using a “substantial part” of the work (for example, you are reproducing one sentence from a full-length novel)
• a special exception applies (for example, your use of the material is a fair dealing for criticism orreview, for reporting news, or for parody or satire).

* Note, however, that in some cases other areas of law may be relevant – for example, trademark or trade practices law may affect your rights to use names or slogans in particular ways. Exceptions to infringement are limited.

For example, websites or printed documents may contain statements about how the reader is entitled to use the material. Similarly, material available on the internet is sometimes covered by a generic licence such as those promoted by organizations such as CC. Many of these permit commercial and non-commercial uses.

This micro-course will introduce you to CC and its generic licenses as well as why, when, and how to use it. The CC micro-course consists of 16 questions which includes two problem sets delivered via a fixed-repetition modality which you are free to modify when you enroll. The 16 questions (Multiple Choice O, Multiple Correct Answers , and/or Fill In The Blank) are comprised of Factual Type - 8 questions (50%); Conceptual Type - 6 questions (37.5%); Problem Solving Type - 2 questions (12.5%).
