22. Discussion – How do you use CC?
• Do you use Creative Commons licensed material in your courses?
• How do you find it?
• How do you cite it?
• Do you license your work with Creative Commons Licenses?

23. Adding a Creative Commons license to your work
• Choosing a license at creativecommons.org to generate and embed
code and graphic for you the license you selected
• Which Creative Commons license is right for me? infographic

24. Creative Commons and the ADLC
• Frank McCallum says:
• “If teachers are working on something that is already in existence,
then the copyright is already attached, and any users would have to
ask permission from PHRD to use the material.
• If teachers create something brand new on these days, then it will be
considered an open resource. (In the future, anything that ADLC
creates that is brand new – not modified from an existing course – it
will be open resource).”
