learning systems and Creative Commons Blackboard announces plans to
allow professors to make their learning materials free and open
online (Blackboard is currently restricted to registered students
only) One key to Blackboards new Share feature is a partnership
with Creative Commons, which offers licenses for free content. When
professors choose to make their courses free, they will be
presented with options to easily attach a Creative Commons license,
something they otherwise would have to do manually. Jeffrey R.

Slide 38 Observations on CC use in Australia CC BY licence has
rapidly been adopted as the default licence by data custodians
throughout the Australian public sector across a range of
information domains CC BY as the default establishes that copyright
materials available for access (under FoI/RTI) are available for
free, and can be reused and transformed Use of CC BY licence has
been central to the effective implementation of the recommendations
of the Gov 2.0 Taskforce in 2009 (PSI should be free, freely
reusable and transformable) Use of CC licences has accelerated the
shift towards open access practices Some government agencies are
using CC licences with restrictive conditions (ND, NC and SA) No
evidence of new, additional restrictions being imposed are using
the least restrictive licence consistent with existing legislative
and commercial restraints Slide 39 Advantages of using CC
Discoverability and retrieval of CC materials by search engines (CC
machine readable code) Explicit statement of re-use rights:
information provided upfront to users about what they CAN do with
the material Standard, internationally recognised icons depict the
licence conditions surmounts language barriers Facilitates legal
re-mix and re-use of CC-licensed materials Identification and
attribution of the creator/owner of the licensed material Licences
are valid and enforceable by the courts Jacobsen v Katzer (US Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, 2008) Trumpet International v

40 Advantages of CC in the public sector mirrors the fundamental
purpose for recognising copyright in government materials supports
governments open access policy objectives contributes to the body
of publicly funded content available for innovative reuse clear
statement about the source of the data (attribution/provenance)
increased user confidence avoids financial and technical lock-up of
taxpayer-funded materials Credits: Background photo by Rock
