Core Webinar Series: Creative Commons (4 parts)
Dates: Tuesdays, March 12 - April 2, 2024
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.
Description: This webinar series is from Creative Commons, an international nonprofit organization that empowers people to grow and sustain the thriving commons of shared knowledge and culture we need to address the world's most pressing challenges and create a brighter future for all. Throughout the series, Creative Commons Learning and Training staff will present on CC licenses, copyright basics, how to find open resources, open resource advocacy, and more.
Part One Title: Creative Commons & Copyright: Working Together
Date: Tuesday, March 12, 2024
Time: 1 p.m. - 2 p.m. CT
Webinar Description: In this webinar from Creative Commons, you will learn the basics of the global copyright system and how it works in the United States. Creative Commons licenses are built on copyright, so it is important to have a fundamental understanding of copyright concepts, including exceptions and limitations such as the public domain and fair use. This webinar will not turn you into a lawyer, but you will walk away with a solid grounding in how copyright applies to creative works, including open access and Open Educational Resources (OER).
Part Two Title: Deep Dive into Creative Commons Licensing
Date: Tuesday, March 19, 2024
Time: 1 p.m. - 2 p.m. CT
Webinar Description: In this webinar from Creative Commons, you will learn all the details of Creative Commons licenses. Creative Commons offers six different open licenses and two additional legal tools. Participants will learn how the licenses and legal tools work together to provide the foundation for the open movement, giving creators far more control over their works than traditional copyright law allows.
Part Three Title: Making the Case for Open at Your Institution
Date: Tuesday, March 26, 2024
Time: 1 p.m. - 2 p.m. CT
Webinar Description: In this webinar from Creative Commons, you will learn how to find and use CC licensed-content. Maybe you’ve heard of CC or seen the logo, but you’re still not sure what you can and can’t do with CC-licensed work. Maybe you’re interested in using CC-licensed work in your classroom or with your patrons, but you’re not sure where to get started or how to find high-quality CC-licensed materials. This webinar will answer those questions and also give you powerful information you can use to advocate for using and creating openly-licensed materials at your own institution and in your communities.
Part Four Title: The Future of Open Licensing and Creative Commons
Date: Tuesday, April 2, 2024
Time: 1 p.m. - 2 p.m. CT
Webinar Description: In this webinar from Creative Commons, learn more about how CC licenses are shaping the future, particularly in fields such as open science, open education, climate change, and open culture. This webinar assumes that participants will already have some familiarity with open access, Open Educational Resources (OER), and CC licensing, and will attempt to answer more advanced questions, such as: How does AI work, and what are its impacts on copyright and CC licensing? How is open access and OER affecting social justice work and improving equity? What other emerging technology trends--such as open data, linked data, or virtual/augmented reality--could have an impact on the open movement?
Presenters:
As Learning and Training Manager, Shanna Hollich supports all of CC's programs and projects by identifying and developing professional development and learning opportunities that are relevant to CC's mission, including (but not limited to) the CC Certificates.
