Open Pedagogy Toolkit: Module 4

Exploring Open Licensing

Students cannot be creators in open spaces without understanding how openness works. It’s important that you teach about Creative Commons license, attribution practices, and explain the differences between copyright and open licensing. Teaching students about open licensing builds digital literacy skills.

• Review the Creative Commons Research guide.
• Reach out to a librarian for assistance.
• Review information on Purdue University’s Copyright Office website.
