Week 6
So the last few weeks has been very busy. So many assignments due all at once.
I’m still working on my project A assignment. Snytha site has now changed to yola.com. Nothing is different just that it is now called yola. I suppose this is easier when I go to search in search bar, it is easier to type yola than snythasite.
Im really liking flickr. It is helping me so much with getting legal photos for my assignment. Creative commons (http://www.creativecommons.org.au/) this is a little bit about creative commons from the website.
“Creative Commons is a nonprofit that offers flexible copyright management tools for creative work. We offer a range of licences that creators can use to manage their copyright in the online environment, each offering it’s own specific protections and freedoms. We have built upon the “all rights reserved” of traditional copyright to create a voluntary “some rights reserved” system. We’re a nonprofit. All of our tools are free.
The Creative Commons site has more information on:
- the history and theory behind Creative Commons
- an explanation of the basic licence protocols and the baseline rights associated with the CC standard licences
- an explaination of the legal concepts, including information on the public domain, the commons, open content and intellectual property conservancies
- things to think about before using a Creative Commons licence
- and an archive of CC press releases”
I think this is one of the best ideas for australians to use each others images, videos etc and for it to be legal.
