Q1. What is creative commons and how could this licensing framework be relevant to your own experience at university?It is an Organisation that provides Media, video, music and image content that is free to use and without licensing restrictions. It would be very useful at uni when i require this type of content for assessment and don't want to be concerned that my work maybe pulled done for licensing reasons.Q2. find 3 examples from Creative Commons.
Q.3. Find an academic article which discusses creative commons using a database or online journal. Provide a link and a summary of the article.
Pitfalls of open licensing: An analysis of creative commons licensing.
Zachary Katz.
- This article studies the negative implications that Creative commons will have on our cultural environment and the ways it will change the production and distribution of future creative works.
Q4. Have a look at Portable Apps (a pc based application) – provide a brief description of what it is and how you think this is useful
A portable app is portable software one would carry around on a USB or ipod etc. When the portable device is plugged into a computer, the software and files can then be accessed and do not leave traces of files behind when the portable device is ejected.
This would be really easy as it would allow access to all your calendars, email, internet bookmarks, media and documents without the hassle of carrying around a laptop. This is fantastic for university students or business people etc.
