Beyond All Rights Reserved with Creative Commons Open

Workshop Purpose & Objectives Workshop Purpose: To learn how to openly license and openly host your own creative materials in an accessible way that allows for distributing and remixing (or not) for the sake of the public good. At the end of this workshop participants will be able to: 1. Describe the benefits of using and contributing to open educational resources by utilizing Creative Commons licensing 2. Develop open educational resources using the appropriate CC licensing by considering hosting and permissions 3. Be openly creative for the sake of academic growth for all!

To help guide our quick discussion, we need helpful definitions for: • Open Access • Scholarly Communication • Open educational Resources

Open Access - Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles combined with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment. (SPARC) Scholarly Communication - the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use. The system includes both formal means of communication, such as publication in peerreviewed journals, and informal channels, such as electronic listservs (ACRL) Open Educational Resources (OER) - "OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES" MEANS HIGH-QUALITY TEACHING, LEARNING, AND RESEARCH RESOURCES THAT RESIDE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN OR HAVE BEEN RELEASED UNDER AN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LICENSE THAT PERMITS FREE USE OR REPURPOSING BY OTHERS AND MAY INCLUDE OTHER RESOURCES THAT ARE LEGALLY AVAILABLE AND AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS FOR FREE OR VERY LOW COST. OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES MAY INCLUDE FULL COURSES, COURSE MATERIALS, MODULES, TEXTBOOKS, FACULTY-CREATED CONTENT, STREAMING VIDEOS, EXAMS, SOFTWARE, AND OTHER TOOLS, MATERIALS, OR TECHNIQUES USED TO SUPPORT ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE” (CRS title 23 Article 4. 5)

What does all of this mean for Faculty & Students

Faculty • Retain rights over your own work • Capability to both – Share your work – Control how your work is used • More academic freedom • Impact the world

Be Careful what You Sign. . . • Any information, creative works, demos, ideas, suggestions, concepts, methods, systems, designs, plans, techniques or other materials submitted or sent to us (including, for example and without limitation, that which you submit or post to our chat rooms, message boards, survey responses, and/or our blogs, or send to us via email) (“Submitted Materials”) will be deemed not to be confidential or secret, and may be used by us in any manner consistent with the Web Site’s Privacy Policy. • By submitting or sending Submitted Materials to us, you: – (i) represent and warrant that the Submitted Materials are original to you, that no other party has any rights thereto, and that any “moral rights” in Submitted Materials have been waived, and – (ii) you grant us and our affiliates a royalty-free, unrestricted, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully transferable, assignable and sublicensable right and license to use, copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display and incorporate in other works any Submitted Materials (in whole or part) in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, including for promotional and/or commercial purposes.

HOSTING Digital Commons

Creative Commons is Copyright Creative commons as a form of copyright 1. Types of creations that it can be used on – – Video, article, book, presentations, audiosets, dataset, offline document, website, blog, course module, online course DO NOT use on software 2. The types of rights afforded in CC – Moral rights at the front and center • Attribution • Anonymous publication • Integrity of the work 3. What CC is not – Patent, trademark, privacy and publicity rights

The make-up of an individual CC • The legal code is the base layer. This contains the “lawyer-readable” terms and conditions that are legally enforceable in court. Take a minute and scan through the legal code of CC BY to see how it is structured. Can you find where the attribution requirements are listed? • The commons deeds are the most well-known layer of the licenses. These are the web pages that lay out the key license terms in so-called “humanreadable” terms. The deeds are not legally enforceable but instead summarize the legal code. Take some time to explore the deeds for CC BY and CC BY-NC-ND and identify how they differ. Can you find the links to the legal code from each deed? • The final layer of the license design recognizes that software plays a critical role in the creation, copying, discovery, and distribution of works. In order to make it easy for websites and web services to know when a work is available under a Creative Commons license, we provide a “machine readable” version of the license—a summary of the key freedoms granted and obligations imposed written into a format that applications, search engines, and other kinds of technology can understand

The different License elements and their meanings This symbol means Attribution or “BY. ” All of the licenses include this condition. This symbol means Non. Commercial or “NC, ” which means the work is only available to be used for noncommercial purposes. Three of the CC licenses include this restriction. This symbol means Share. Alike or “SA, ” which means that adaptations based on this work must be licensed under the same license. Two of the CC licenses include this condition. This symbol means No. Derivatives or “ND, ” which means reusers cannot share adaptations of the work. Two of the CC licenses include this restriction.

The Attribution license or “CC BY” allows people to use the work for any purpose (even commercially and even in modified form) as long as they give attribution to the creator. The Attribution-Share. Alike license or “BY-SA” allows people to use the work for any purpose (even commercially and even in modified form), as long as they give attribution to the creator and make any adaptations they share with others available under the same or a compatible license. This is CC’s version of a copyleft license, and is the license required for content uploaded to Wikipedia, for example. The Attribution-Non. Commercial license or “BY-NC” allows people to use the work for noncommercial purposes only, and only as long as they give attribution to the creator. The Attribution-Non. Commercial-Share. Alike license or “BY-NC-SA” allows people to use the work for noncommercial purposes only, and only as long as they give attribution to the creator and make any adaptations they share with others available under the same or a compatible license. The Attribution-No. Derivatives license or “BY-ND” allows people to use the unadapted work for any purpose (even commercially), as long as they give attribution to the creator. The Attribution-Non. Commercial-No. Derivatives license or “BY-NC-ND” is the most restrictive license offered by CC. It allows people to use the unadapted work for noncommercial purposes only, and only as long as they give attribution to the licensor.

Planning for Creative Commons Licensing First Consider These: • Make sure your work is copyrightable • Make sure you have the rights • Make sure you understand how Creative Commons licenses operate • Be specific about what you are licensing • Are you a member of a society? If so, does it allow you to CC-license your works? Second Gather your TASL+D • • • Title Author (tell reusers who to give credit ) Source (Link to source) License (link to CC license Deed) Date (date of creation) Last Get your License! Its simple just visit: https: //creativecommons. org/choose/ Or look for the CC tool embedded in You. Tube or Flickr

Activity The Creative Commons + Hosting Workflow

What is one thing that you have created for your courses or personally?

How would you want that to be shared? What reasons would you have for sharing it? • What benefits to others? Who would benefit? • What benefit to you?

How would others be free to share it? Would it be remixable? Could they use it for financial gain? If Yes then Answer these: Who should be attributed? Is it remixable? Can they make a profit on it?

Take a moment to gather your answers to: Would it be remixable? Could they use it for financial gain? Who should be attributed? Next is hosting

Who do you want to find your work? How broadly do you want to share your work? Do you want to focus on the research community or the general public?

How will your audience find your work? Will they be searching Google or the open web? Do they have access to a society/group site? Does that site allow cross-posting, open access, or Creative Commons? Will you be sharing a link via social media or other means?

Is your work traditional scholarly material, creative material, or non-traditional? Do you need the capability to host audio, video, or images? Do you need multiple works to be linked together, embedded, or otherwise related? Do you need to host large or unusual files & file types? Do you need to host research data?

Will your work be preserved for the future? Do you want to keep back-up copies yourself? Do you want your work to be permanently available to others? Do you want your work to be maintained in future formats?

Final point on Hosting Legality Many platforms do not check for legal posting but will respond to reports of copyright violations. If you post it, you are liable for it. • Know what you own • Keep copies of your publishing agreements • Many publishers allow posting of original or final drafts • • • Check out Sherpa. Romeo (a tool which tracks what most publishers allow by journal) Read your agreement to know what you're allowed to share Keep copies of your student or employment agreements If you collaborated, get the consent of your collaborators If you don't have rights/license to it, don't post it • Know what you're giving away Read hosting agreements before posting • Some sites forbid reposting or will ask for exclusive rights • Look into policies of hosting sites •

Bring IT ALL Home Openly What will you be sharing for the PUBLIC GOOD? How will it impact the world? Does it feel more scholarly and influential? Where will you host? What stage will the world see it on?
