We argue:Publicly funded works should be held in common, to enable the active reuse of our common culture and knowledge

First (obvious) point:It's now much easier to share work for collaboration and reuse.

First point:There's more content than ever (and it's easy to find & use).

Second point:Obvious potential to share a massive amount of educational resources for reuse

50,000+ teachers2,500+ schools

Enormous potential to savetime, money & frustration.

50,000+ teachers2,500+ schools

Enormous potential to share &collaborate.

Third point:At present, most resource sharing is hidden or closed (email lists, closed websites, photocopies) but that will change.

Forth point:As sharing becomes more open and visible, schools will need to be clear about copyright

Copyright is very restrictive. Automatic.Applies online.No 'c' required.Lasts for 50 years after death.

Fifth point:Teachers don’t own copyright to resources they produce in the course of their employment.

Sixth point:Most schools don't have clear IP policies on sharing & reuse.

https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVT What to Do?.

Solution #1:School: Adopt clear & transparent copyright policies

Solution #2:Teacher: Introduce finding, reusing and making open content into your 'workflow'

Here's the pitch:Creative Commons licences are clear, simple, free, legally robust and you keep your copyright.

Here's the pitch:CC policies clarify IP at schools, while enabling sharing and collaboration.
