Creative Commons: Open Licensing for Nova Scotia Health Online
Description: Nova Scotia Health’s transformational work is recognized nationally and internationally. As a result, we often get requests to adapt or reuse our content. We also run the risk of our work being used without permission and without proper attribution.
To facilitate sharing, while helping ensure that we are given credit for the work we create, Nova Scotia Health teams now have the option to assign Creative Commons (CC) licences to our content. This session will introduce you to the Creative Commons subject guide and walk you through the process of how, when and why CC licences might be right for your team.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this 45-minute session, you will understand:
- What CC licences are
- Why you should consider applying them to your work
- When CC licences are appropriate for Nova Scotia Health resources and when they should be avoided
- How to assign CC licences to your work
