Creative Commons

The creative commons licencing process is a really interesting development from an e-Learning developers perspective.  The possibility of accessing work and content that has been designed and developed elsewhere is a huge attraction to a large organisation such as mine.  I have long argued for a repository of 'stuff' and with the growth of Global Commons materials and the processes to develop and distribute new 'stuff' without fear of using somebodies proprietary materials inadvertently makes great sense.  I was unaware of the type of licencing available within the framework and had assumed wrongly it was all 'up for grabs'.  With this misnomer corrected I'm off to work out what you can do with what and see where CC materials take us.
