Lists of links… the desire to “curate” lists of web resources is almost as old as the web itself; in our project can we turn the output of resource collection into an open resource itself? Bear with me on probably a bit too much back story… Back in 1993, my first exposure into the web […]
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 […]
For anyone following my photostream in flickr, it is hard to ignore the presence of my adopted dog, Felix. I’ve got 420 tagged photos of him in 6 months! There was really good light from the window on him yesterday as he focused on his chores of chewing bones. Often he stops what he is […]
This week we are launching a new effort to get the word out for and to draw in participation to the Creative Commons Certification project. 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. We have on the table a “core” portion of Creative Commons understanding that all certificates should cover, plus […]
We think the developing structure for the Creative Commons Certifications should be more than content and assignment-type activities; that there should be a component of public participating, activity, even encouraging people to be “Defenders of the Commons.” That was the thinking behind our making a case for a Creative Commons Stack Exchange, seeing the Stack […]
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 […]
This photo got picked today for Flickr explore rather mind boggling for an iPhone pic sitting among so many stunning photos. The magic of explore is you cannot expect it, I thought maybe something was up when it showed 20 favorites this morning from people I do not know. And then shortly after I got […]
