For this quest, create an entry in your blog in which you develop a definition of open educational resources and explain the various Creative Commons licenses one may encounter when searching for these resources.
According to the Hewlett Foundation, "Open Educational Resources (OER) are high-quality, openly licensed, online educational materials that offer an extraordinary opportunity for people everywhere to share, use, and reuse knowledge." My own definition is OERs are educational materials for sharing with everyone, everywhere within the rules of citing the originator. Every Creative Commons (CC) license requires the user of material to give credit to the originator.
There are 6 licenses available through Creative Commons.
1. Attribution - Allows users to use and change the work as long as the originator is given credit.
2. Attribution, Share Alike - Allows changes, used by Wikipedia, any new works based on original will carry the same license and allows commercial use, must credit the originator.
3. Attribution, No Derivs - No changes allowed, may copy and distribute commercial and non-commercial as long as credit is given to originator
4. Attribution, Non-Commercial - Allows changes, may not be used commercially, must give credit to originator.
