The Secret Sauce to Shared Knowledge: Creative Commons licenses and how to use them - WPCampus 2024

Описание: Whether you know it or not, much of our collective learning and knowledge sharing is powered by Creative Commons. In this session, Creative Commons will reveal how much of our education is built atop Creative Commons licenses: from WordPress sites, Canvas courses, all of the content on Wikipedia, TedX talks, to a countless stream of news articles from approximately 180 news outlets around the world, CC licenses are used to legally share knowledge. Creative Commons is everywhere!

Join us for a quick lesson in copyright, and a look at why CC licenses are essential to our everyday knowledge sharing. Bonus: we’ll show you how easy it is to apply a CC license to your own work!

CC is a global nonprofit organization that addresses the world’s most pressing challenges through advancing open access to culture and knowledge. We built and steward the open licenses that power millions of people’s unfettered access to culture, research, information, education and more. There are over 2.5 billion CC licenses being used across 9 million websites.
