Database Rights CC Licenses now license sui generis database rights. This means that if you see a CC license on a database, you know you have permission to use the database without worrying about what jurisdiction you are using the database in or where the database was created.

Education Example: You find a database of learning analytics and it has a CC BY 4.0 license on it. This means you are free to reuse the database as long as you give credit to the database creator and abide by the terms of the license.

Moral, Publicity, Privacy, Personality Rights These rights are waived by the licensor to the limited extent necessary to allow you to reuse the content as intended by the license.

Education Example: You want to use a headshot a teacher has taken of herself and licensed CC BY 4.0 in a yearbook. Do you have to worry about her publicity rights when it comes to reusing it?

1. Easier to navigate! 2. A more global license 3. Addresses rights outside scope of 4. Common-sense attribution 5. Anonymity if desired 6. 30 days to correct violations

Common-sense Attribution Simpler and more flexible. Now made explicit that you can satisfy the attribution requirement with a link to a credits page.

Education Example: You have created a video about the History of X and cant attribute all your sources in the video itself. Now you can simply include a link to a page that lists all the credits.

Best Practices for Attribution: (TASL) Title Author Source Link to work License Name + Link http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Best_practices_for_attribution

Best Practice Example: You have assembled a textbook consisting of OER from various sources. Heres what a credits page at the end of that textbook might look like.

Also, if you modify a CC-licensed work Indicate that you did so along with your attribution. This makes it easier for downstream users (including you) to know it has changed from the original.

Education Example: You use another teachers lesson plan but replace the classroom activity with your own. Simply note that you changed it so others will know the difference.

Sample Attribution: American History Lesson by John Doe used under a CC BY license: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. Activity in Section E changed from original.

1. Easier to navigate! 2. A more global license 3. Addresses rights outside scope of 4. Common-sense attribution 5. Anonymity if desired 6. 30 days to correct violations

Anonymize your work Made more explicit in 4.0: you can have your name removed from any version of your work if desired verbatim reproduction or adaptation.

Education Example: You draft a white paper that you want others to build on, but dont want to be credited for the work until it is final. You can ask for your name to be removed from any drafts redistributed online.

1. Easier to navigate! 2. A more global license 3. Addresses rights outside scope of 4. Common-sense attribution 5. Anonymity if desired 6. 30 days to correct violations

30-day window to correct violations If you breached a license by mistake, you can now correct your mistake and have your rights reinstated automatically which means you can continue to use the CC-licensed work.

Education Example: You forgot to attribute a textbook you used in your curriculum. Instead of permanently losing reuse rights, simply correct your mistake within 30 days of discovery and get your rights reinstated automatically.

recap:

Easier to navigate! A more global license Addresses rights outside scope of Common-sense attribution Anonymity if desired 30 days to correct violations

Operation of ShareAlike SA condition is triggered when you derive or adapt material, not when you include it unaltered in a collection.
