My Venture into the Commons 

This page houses my Creative Commons Certificate assignments. The Certificate is an in-depth course about CC licenses, open practices and the ethos of the Commons. The course is composed of readings, quizzes, discussions, and practical exercises to develop learners’ open skills.
​
During the course, I will learn how to adapt and innovate on existing openly licensed materials and how to best support learners accessing a wider array of open knowledge resources. The Certificate will also help equip me with skills needed to meet open licensing requirements increasingly present in government and foundation grants and contracts.

Creative Commons: Collaboration on a Global Scale

Create a video, slide presentation, podcast, wikibook content, an infographic (or choose another medium) in which you describe the key historical events leading up to the launch of Creative Commons and the state of Creative Commons today. Rather than a disconnected list, create a narrative (tell a story) that ties events and people together. Try to create something that would be useful and interesting to someone who just heard about Creative Commons and wants to learn more.

Creative Commons: Copyright Law

​Create a video, slide presentation, or infographic (or choose another medium) in which you describe the basics of copyright law as covered in Module 2. Make an effort to create something that would be useful and interesting to someone else.

Creative Commons: Anatomy of a CC License

Create a video, slide presentation, or infographic (or choose another medium) in which you describe the Creative Commons licenses as well as how and when they might be useful to your institutions’ work. At a minimum, include a description of:

1. the three layers of the CC licenses,
2. the four license elements and the icons that represent them (Links to an external site.)
3. the six Creative Commons licenses,
4. how the CC licenses affect exceptions and limitations to copyright, and
5. how the CC licenses affect works in the public domain.
