Open Licensing | Creative Commons | Elements & Types of Licenses | Assignment & Discussion


Assignment


Answer the following questions and respond to at least two posts.

1. What license are you going to assign your works (i.e. teaching materials that you have created)? Why?


 

2. Many professors are uncomfortable with the idea that others make money out of their openly-licenses works.  We would all feel indignant, for example, learning about bookstores selling open textbooks that are freely available online.
