The New Rules of Copyright | 21st Century Connections - 0 views

  • Complying with, and teaching young people about, copyright in an educational setting often feels burdensome. That's because copyright laws were not designed to facilitate the sort of sharing and collaborating that has become widespread in the digital age. 
  • Q: Why should educators care about the Creative Commons label?A: Creative Commons licenses legalize the sharing of content-something we do on the Internet every day whether we're aware of it or not. Instead of reserving all rights to one's work, which is the default in copyright law, Creative Commons licensing makes it easy for an owner to reserve some rights while making the work available for others to use and enhance.
  • Q: What is ccLearn?A: ccLearn is a division of Creative Commons focused on minimizing the legal, technical, and social barriers to sharing and reuse of educational materials. We are dedicated to supporting open learning and "open educational resources" (OER) and changing the culture of education so that teacher practices (pedagogies) become more transparent and effective.

  • Q: If all educational materials in the future are open and free, how will educational content providers be reimbursed for their expertise and their work?A: Many people mistakenly accuse CC of being antibusiness, based on the fact that we make it legally possible for people to do the things that the Internet enables, rather than making criminals of us all. Fortunately, there are many businesses that realize that times are changing and they had better start thinking of ways to adapt and take advantage of the new opportunities.
  • In the case of an open textbook, for example, government grant funding might go into the creation of the resource. Then companies might charge for value-added services such as study aids for students or professional development or supplementary video.

  •  
    Unless a great many people learn the basics of online crap detection and begin applying their critical faculties en masse and very soon, I fear for the future of the Internet as a useful source of credible news, medical advice, financial information, educational resources, scholarly and scientific research.

A Manifesto for Media Education ยป Radical Alternatives to Education? - 0 views

  •  
    "So let's see - how radical can we get with education? What if every child had their own device to connect to the world of knowledge and what if it was actually engaging and fun. What if children could search for any topic they wanted to know about and find complete high quality resources on it in seconds, on a screen right in front of them? What if kids could match their interests and knowledge needs with other kids whom they could link with around the globe? "
