Description

Creative Commons (CC) is a global non-profit organization at the center of a high-profile, international movement to promote sharing of creativity and knowledge. Its goal is to help realize the full potential of the Internet—universal access to research and education, full participation in culture—to drive a new era of development growth, and productivity. CC provides the well-known suite of licenses that have become the global standard used by leading companies, institutions and individuals across culture, education, government, science, and more to promote digital collaboration and innovation. The CC licenses are everywhere—1.1 billion+ CC licenses in use across 9 million websites—making it easy for anyone to use and re-use content. For example, CC licenses help the world gain access to NASA’s most iconic images from space, help educators create curriculum that will bring down the cost of college for everyone, and allow scientists to freely share their work with medical professionals around the world. CC also works with foundations and governments to ensure that when they fund new content, like research and educational materials, those materials are made available for us to freely use, share, and improve.

Creative Commons certainly is one of the widest shining lighthouses in the field of OER. CC-licenses have become a synonym for open licensing in general. Who steps into OER has to deal with CC-licenses. So CC is kind of unavoidable.

One of the key elements in the creation of Open Educational Resources (OER) is Creative Common (CC). Creative Commons is a way to allow everyone to reuse our creative works freely. It enables individuals stop their material from being misused after it has been placed in the public domain.

CC licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright but are based upon it. The result is an agile, low-overhead and low-cost copyright-management regime, benefiting both copyright owners and licensees. Gained knowledge about this licence while doing MOOC course.
