Before Licensing Your Work to Creative Commons
There are some basic things that you should think about before you apply a Creative Commons license to your
work. Go to: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Before_Licensing and summarize the first four things to think
about. The 5th item is not that important to us. (10 points each)
1. Make sure your work falls within the Creative Commons license
Creative Commons licenses apply to works that are protected by copyright. Generally, works that
are protected by copyright are: books, scripts, websites, lesson plans, blogs and any other forms of
writings; photographs and other visual images; films, video games and other visual materials; musical
compositions, sound recordings and other audio works.
2. Make sure you have the rights
Before applying a Creative Commons license to a work, you need to make sure you have the
authority to do so. This means that you need to make sure that the person who owns the copyright in
the work is happy to have the work made available under a Creative Commons license.
3. Make sure you understand how Creative Commons licenses operate
Before you apply a Creative Commons license to your work, you should make sure you understand
how they operate. You can do this by reviewing the [Frequently_Asked_Questions FAQ]
4. Be specific about what you are licensing
You need to be specific about exactly what you are CC-licensing when you apply the Creative
Commons license to your work. We give you the option of identifying the format of the work in the
metadata (text, audio, video, image, interactive) and you should use this.
Positives of using CC Material

http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Sharing_Creative_Works
Creative Commons allows creators to share their work with the public while keeping the copyright to
their work. Creators can choose from six different licenses that allow users to use their work, but
according to the restrictions of the license.
It’s good for us in education because we don’t have to ask permission from creators – we already
have their permission. We must, however, follow their license if we want to use the work. Also, we
don’t have to worry about Fair Use Guidelines that are part of copyright law.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
