Creative Commons - Course Materials for Community Colleges
We had a board meeting for Creative Commons this past weekend, hosted at Google (where SciFOO was also taking place!) and one of the things we discussed extensively was our progress in making course materials available using CC licenses.
Today there was an announcement from The White House about The American Graduation Initiative:
Today at Macomb College, President Barack Obama announced a proposal to commit $50 million for the development of open online courses for community colleges as part of the American Graduation Initiative: Stronger American Skills through Community Colleges. As proposed, the courses will be freely available for use as is and for adaption as appropriate for targeted student populations. The materials will carry a Creative Commons license.
