1. Free Licences
2. Projects
We argue:Publicly funded works should be held in common, to enable the active reuse of our common culture and knowledge
First (obvious) point:It's now much easier to share work for collaboration and reuse.
First point:There's more content than ever (and it's easy to find & use).

Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 3.0 New Zealand licenceTe Papa
Second point:Obvious potential to share a massive amount of educational resources for reuse
50,000+ teachers2,500+ schools
Enormous potential to savetime, money & frustration.
50,000+ teachers2,500+ schools
Enormous potential to share &collaborate.
Third point:At present, most resource sharing is hidden or closed (email lists, closed websites, photocopies) but that will change.
Forth point:As sharing becomes more open and visible, schools will need to be clear about copyright

Copyright is very restrictive. Automatic.Applies online.No 'c' required.Lasts for 50 years after death.
Fifth point:Teachers don’t own copyright to resources they produce in the course of their employment.
Sixth point:Most schools don't have clear IP policies on sharing & reuse.

https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVT What to Do?.
Solution #1:School: Adopt clear & transparent copyright policies
Solution #2:Teacher: Introduce finding, reusing and making open content into your 'workflow'
Here's the pitch:Creative Commons licences are clear, simple, free, legally robust and you keep your copyright.
Here's the pitch:CC policies clarify IP at schools, while enabling sharing and collaboration.

Cabinet encourages BoTs to take NZGOAL into account & use CC licensing when releasing resources
BoTs can adapt ASHS's free, CC licensed off-the-shelf policy.
This policy simply gives permission for teachers to share using CC.
Benefits

reused● Make use of the N4L Portal Pond
