Core Webinar: The Future of Open Licensing and Creative Commons
Part 4 of 4-Part Webinar Series: Creative Commons
Date: Tuesday, 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: 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, 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?
Learning outcomes:
At the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:
-
Understand the role that CC licenses and the open movement are playing in emerging technology trends.
-
Describe how emerging technology, such as AI, interacts with copyright and CC-licensing.
-
Understand how open access and OER affect social justice work and improve equity.
Who should attend?
This webinar is geared towards anyone who already has a basic understanding of what Creative Commons licenses are and how they work. Anyone who has attended any of the other three webinars should feel prepared to attend this one as well.
