Creative Commons &
ccLearn
Creative
Commons, an orgnisation that provides alternative copyright tools
for use on web-based materials, recently announced the creation of
a new initiative specifically designed for use with OERs.
The ccLearn
initiative is designed to protect the intellectual copyright of
educators, authors and publishers while providing content creators
with more freedom to distribute educational content with peers, OER
repositories and communities and OpenCourseWare (OCW)
platforms.
ccLearn is dedicated to supporting the development of open education and OER on the internet. Building on the power of Creative Commons, and the generosity and support of the educational community, ccLearn aims to be a leader in helping the world bridge the content gap.
