We have a new community area for people interested in talking about the certification project. Creative Commons recently announced the opening of their new real time conversation place on Slack. It’s quite active and a bit easier to use then the existing IRC channel (though if you love IRC, the two spaces are now connected). […]
In a presentation last Friday at the 2016 Open Education Conference Paul Stacey and I described the Certification project as “Massive Open OER Development.” MOOD? People who know me know how much I think of acronyms that start with M-O-0… (that was meant to be wry humor) Hearing about @creativecommons ‘certificate’ prog – awesomeness with […]

As an idea that emerged from our recent team meeting and thinkathon, each week we will initiate an activity via twitter via the #CCquest hashtag. The plan is to issue […]
As a followup to a previously written post outlining the idea of having the source material for the Creative Commons Certifications residing in GitHub in Markdown, this post documents a bit more at a technical level my current efforts to show how the content can be ported easily to WordPress. If I might make a […]
The efforts of our Creative Commons Certification design team are aimed at producing a first draft version of a structured outline of what will be included and also to solicit input, ideas, and resources we should include.

A Creative Commons Stack Exchange Community would serve as a place for people seeking Creative Commons Certifications can demonstrate their proficiency by practicing asking, answering, rating, and commenting on relevant questions. Furthermore it could provide a public resource for the organization in conjunction with the current available avenues of FAQs, email, and IRC as ways […]
I’ve been a big fan of Mozilla’s Webmaker tools since they came out– Popcorn video editor, Xray Goggles to remix web pages, and Thimble as a web editor that lets you learn code while seeing what it does. In 2013 I did some work with them to create some demonstration projects – Ingredients of Me […]
Thanks again to Bryan Mathers for generating this response to the question “What part do you play?” What part do you play?…Part of a @visualthinkery conversation with @cogdog about @creativecommons #oer #edchat pic.twitter.com/l1UshqLzTY — Bryan Mathers (@BryanMMathers) July 22, 2016 We hope to help convert fools to creators, ninjas, and defenders.

Perhaps it will never be used and / or no one really needs to know this technical minutiae, but I’m documenting as much as possible the work that will lead up to this Creative Commons Certificate. Yesterday I wrote up a bit of this duct taped system to collect via a Google Form resources as […]
