The disruptive energies of ICTs & IP networks

The future of the learning process lies in seamless access to educational resources most of them available through ICTs and IP networks.

As ICTs and IP networks inherently produce and communicate copyrighted material in their normal process of operation, they activate the potential for copyright infringement.

We need to encourage the existing copyright legal framework to accommodate the disruptive energies of ICTs & IP networks in a way that promotes access to educational resources.

The Creative Commons Main Idea & Vision

Main idea: the need to ask copyright owners whether they are willing to agree and give permission in print for their material to be shared through a generic license that acts as permission granted in advance.

Vision: a space in the Internet where people could share and reuse copyrighted material without the fear of being sued.

CC has evolved into a worldwide movement.

CC aims to make copyrighted content more easy to use and accessible for use by ensuring that content can be reutilised with a minimum of transactional effort.

Creative Commons as tools for Open Educational Resources

CC: the most notable tools in the arsenal of legal means considered as implementation resources capable for pushing ahead the agenda of Open Educational Resources.

While “open” means “without cost”, it does not follow that it also means “without conditions”.

OER: conditional use of educational resources available in an information commons.
