Narrative description of what you will do
Develop a WE site that explains, in simple language, the advantages of CC licencing for teachers, community & board:
- Better understanding of how IP works in schools- BoTs own output, fair use etc.
- Help BoTs retain their intellectual property by ensuring a copy remains in the commons even if a teacher removes teaching and learning resources from a school.
