Abstract

For ten years Creative Commons has helped the creative energy of the web communicate rights by providing a new framework for addressing copyright. Creative Commons gives educators a straight-forward strategy for developing, sharing, and accessing content for educational use. This session will discuss the copyleft movement, the six major licenses available from Creative Commons, Creative Common projects, and the type of content licensed and linked through Creative Commons and the Creative Commons database.
