I would like to explain
in this post why I chose a Creative Commons
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
First, I used the
license generator Creative Commons in order to get
mine. According to their website: Creative Commons is a nonprofit
organization that enables the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge
through free legal tools.Their free, easy-to-use copyright
licenses provide a simple, standardized way to give the public permission
to share and use your creative work — on conditions of your choice. CC licenses
let you easily change your copyright terms from the default of “all rights
reserved” to “some rights reserved.”Creative Commons licenses are not an
alternative to copyright. They work alongside copyright and enable you to
modify your copyright terms to best suit your needs.
The license I chose lets
others remix, tweak, and build upon my work non-commercially, as long as they
credit me and license their new creations under the identical terms. This means
that everyone can share my posts but without modyfing them. Besides, I strongly
believe that education is not any kind of business and for this reason I chose
a NonCommercial license.
What are good ways to
motivate our students to use Creative Commons material and attribute properly?
Regarding how I would work Creative Commons materials with my pupils, first I would work with them in moral values such as respect and empathy. They would have to create their own video, text or something related to Arts and then think about how they would feel if someone modified their work without their permission or distributed it without recognising them as authors. They should understand the importance of respecting others creations and effort and that they cannot use every material they find on the Internet for free. Therefore, they need to know how to cite and attribute the information they find and later use in their homeworks. It is also a good idea to teach them how to create a Creative Commons license for their blogs, websites, etc.
