Open Educational Resources are licensed resources that allow creators to freely share their work under flexible terms with others. These licences are called Creative Commons (CC) licences. CC Licences are a way of legally allowing others to use your material, but with certain conditions attached. |
There are several different types of CC licences with different permissions associated. Most licenses allow reuse for non-commercial purposes, with some not allowing changes, such as remixing or adaptation.
It is important with Open Education Resources that you check the CC licences before using the material.

Every CC licence is based around a combination of four 'optional' licence elements allowing the creator to select how they want others to use their work. CC material can be used by licensees in any work they like, providing they adhere to the specific licence conditions.
Each element has its own icon and abbreviation, making them easy to identify.
