Thread:Use of CC as abbreviation for Creative Commons (1)

We begin to use CC as an abbreviation for Creative Commons on the second page of this module. We use CC at times, but not in every instance. I think we should have a consistent approach to the use of the abbreviation. It seems to me a good idea to get the learners used to seeing the abbreviation and I like the idea of beginning use of CC on the second page. Here are a few options for how we could use it consistently:


 * 1) Use in place of full name in all instances, following introduction.
 * 2) Use only when followed by the words license or licenses (note that this includes headings).
 * 3) Use only when referencing a specific license, e.g., CC-BY.

My opinion on this issue is that we go with either 2 or 3, or some other limited use. When referencing the Creative Commons institution, I think we should use the full name.
