In the past, we have discussed Copyright and how to cite sources when we use someone else's work in any fashion - writing, pictures, music, etc. Creative Commons (CC) provides a set of licenses and tools to allow Internet users a way to use created works that are normally unavailable to us due to an "all rights reserved" copyright law.
The tools provided by CC give everyone "a simple, standardized way to keep their copyright while allowing certain uses of their work". CC is a growing digital commons that offers Internet users digital content that may be copied, distributed, edited, revised, and added to, all within the boundaries of copyright laws.
The slide show below offers an introduction/review of how to use Creative Commons.
