"Science Commons has three interlocking initiatives designed to accelerate the research cycle - the continuous production and reuse of knowledge that is at the heart of the scientific method. Together, they form the building blocks of a new collaborative infrastructure to make scientific discovery easier by design. Making scientific research "re-useful" - We help people and organizations open and mark their research and data for reuse. We are also exploring new models for licensing patents and know how. Learn more. Enabling "one-click" access to research materials - We help streamline the materials-transfer process so researchers can easily replicate, verify and extend research. Learn more. Integrating fragmented information sources - We help researchers find, analyze and use data from disparate sources by marking and integrating the information with a common, computer-readable language.

"Open Education Resources (OER) just got a big boost this weekend. Long time OER champion Dr. Catherine Casserly was just elected yesterday to the Board of Directors of Creative Commons to help provide further direction for the Open Education Resources movement worldwide. 2010-02-01-Casseerly4.jpg For those of you who never heard of OER, let me explain. In brief, OER is high quality learning materials that are freely available for use, remixing and redistribution; the name was first adopted by UNESCO in 2002. The push to further develop OER comes at a critical time when schools nationwide are seeking ways to improve learning. Creative Commons (CC) plays a major role in the OER movement as it provides the legal structure for sharing creative works and making them available for others to build upon and share. The CC organization has six licenses that allow creators to share their works easily."

"This has been a big year for the Al Jazeera Network and our use of Creative Commons. In January we launched the world's first repository of broadcast quality video footage released under a Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution (CC BY) license. At the time we made select Al Jazeera video footage - initially, footage of the War on Gaza - available for free to be downloaded, shared, remixed, subtitled and eventually rebroadcast by users and TV stations across the world, under the condition that they attribute the material to us.
