This presentation introduces copyright and Creative Commons licensing for New Zealand schools.

2. Our goal:
“To realise the potential of the
internet.”

3. Our goal:
“Universal access to research and
education, full participation in
culture.”

4. More free More restrictive
1
1. Free Licences

5. 2. Projects

6. Schools: Creative Commons
Policies

7. First point:
The potential of digitial
technologies and the internet to
share, collaborate and reuse
works.

9. Second point:
It hasn't always been easy to
build on other works
('read-only')

10. Family watching television, c. 1958. National Archives and Records
Administration. 1944 – 2006. No known copyright.

11. Third point:
The technical barriers to access
and reuse are dropping ('read-
write')

12. Screenshot from ‘Lego Life Lessons - Safety Tips for Walking to School’
by the Manning Brothers. Made available under a Creative Commons
Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike licence.

13. Fourth point:
This is changing the production
and consumption of culture

14. “83% of young people that we
surveyed said they have used a
computer to create their own art in
the past 12 months.”
Creative New Zealand

15. 22% of the general population said
they have used a computer to create
their own art in the past 12 months.
Creative New Zealand

16. “Digital art has emerged as the
artform that young people most
want to be more involved with.”
Creative New Zealand

17. Fifth point:
Obvious potential to share a
massive amount of educational
resources for reuse

18. 50,000+ teachers
2,500+ schools
Enormous potential to save
time, money & frustration.

19. 50,000+ teachers
2,500+ schools
Enormous potential to share &
collaborate.

20. Sixth point:
The legal barriers to
dissemination & reuse remain.

22. Copyright is very restrictive.
Automatic.
Applies online.
No 'c' required.
Lasts for 50 years after death.

23. This means you legally need an
exception or permission.

24. Exception =
Fair Dealing (v limited)

25. Permission =
1. Collecting society licences
(limited)
2. Creative Commons (open)
3. Out-of-copyright (v open)
4. Other forms of permission

26. Seventh point:
This produces a disconnect
between the law and (positive)
engagement with online culture
and knowledge.

27. Eighth point:
Teachers don’t own copyright
to resources they produce in
the course of their employment.

28. Ninth point:
Most schools don't have clear
IP policies on sharing & reuse.

29. What to do?
“Grayson, Westley, Stanislaus County, Western San Joaquin Valley, California. Seventh and eighth grade
class in Westley school after lesson in Geography” 1940, US National Archives 83-G-41445, via Flickr. No
known copyright.

31. Here's the pitch:
Creative Commons licences are
clear, simple, free, legally robust
and used by government.

32. Here's the pitch:
CC shifts the conversation from
what students can’t do to what
they can

33. Here's the pitch:
CC policies clarify IP at schools,
while enabling sharing and
collaboration.
