List of Creative Commons Image Directories and Sites Creative Commons Image Libraries Creative Commons images are a special subset of 'free images'. Creative Commons came about as a way to simplify the minefield that is 'free' content (view our listing of free stock photo sites) and allow photographers to provide ('license') their work for free under easy to understand terms which benefit both the photographer and the user. The good people at creativecommons.org explain this better, but CC allows photographers and illustrators or creators of any content to clearly license their work, and tag it in such a way that it can be found online easily. For the image user creative commons makes it clear if the images can be used in commercial applications, if changes can be made and in ALL cases an attribution as specified by the creator must be included when the image is used. The details of this attribution are usually displayed along with the image on the source web site often in a series of icons or a link to a licence page: as an example:
Defining Open Educational Practices (OEP) Last week I attended the kick off meeting for an exciting new EU-funded project, OPAL, from the website: The Open Educational Quality Initiative will focus on provision of innovative open educational practices and promote quality, innovation and transparency in higher and adult education. Beginning in January 2010, the two-year OPAL Initiative is a partnership between seven organizations including ICDE, UNESCO and ICDE member institution, the Open University UK, and will be coordinated by the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. The project is part funded by the European Commission Education and Training Lifelong Learning Programme. As you can see the project has a strong consortium with some significant players/representatives from across the EU. For us at the OU it builds nicely on two stands of related work – our work on OER (through the development of the OpenLearn site and more recently the Olnet initiative) and the OU Learning Design Initiative. Does this definition make sense?
Five Best Personal Project Management Tools Do we need Open Educational Resources (OER)? « Learn Online Santtu at the helm by wili_hybrid When I get a free minute I try to get through some of my feedreader. Unfortunately I don’t get very far into it because Abject Learning is first in the list. This time Brian is questioning the need for OER, and I have to say I largely share his position, it is over rated in the grand scheme of things. One of the other participants asked a question that resonated with me: if we live in an era of information abundance, why is the primary drive around OERs the publication of more content? And what other activities around the open education movement might be an effective use of our energies? The predictable response from content centric OER proponents relates to copyright and freedom, OER content is “free”. But as Brian points out, this is increasingly a non issue: Already, formal education is out of the picture in every way. The rhetoric about freedom and moralistic argument in OER amps up non-the-less. Like this: Like Loading...
Utiliser les licences libres pour un projet éditorial : quels contenus ? quels usages ? quelle diffusion J’ai eu la chance de pouvoir donner récemment une formation au Labo de l’édition consacrée à l’utilisation des licences libres ou de libre diffusion dans le cadre d’un projet éditorial, devant un public composé d’auteurs, d’éditeurs et de porteurs de projets de plateformes numériques ou d’applications. In libris libertas. Par Drewpiter. CC-BY. Source : Flickr. La discussion avec ces professionnelles fut riche et je poste ci-dessous le support que j’ai utilisé pour cette intervention (sous licence CC-BY et donc entièrement réutilisable, modifiable et adaptable). Je me suis efforcé d’expliquer de manière aussi simple que possible le fonctionnement des licences (notamment les Creative Commons) et de montrer quelles pouvaient être leurs applications pratiques dans le cadre d’un projet d’édition de livres (papier et numérique).
