Register for CC Certificate courses: next course begins June 10
Creative Commons will host our next CC Certificate courses, starting 10 June! Join us and gain CC-certified expertise in open licenses and open practices in education, librarianship, or cultural heritage.
The CC Certificate courses provide a study of the public domain, copyright, Creative Commons licenses, and what it means to engage in our global, shared commons of knowledge and culture. Learn more about the CC Certificate program.
Register for one of our June courses here. Registration for June courses will close by June 3 (or whenever classes are filled); registration for September courses is also currently open and available.
In other good news: we have more scholarship tickets for the Open Culture/GLAM Certificate! Use code Y3GLAMSCHOLAR60 during registration to get 60% off your ticket, while scholarship tickets last. This only applies for the Open Culture sections of the course.

“If at all possible, take this course. It’s probably the most valuable and rewarding professional development training I’ve done since becoming an academic librarian in 2013. I thought I had a pretty decent grasp of the ins and outs of Creative Commons before taking the course, and the difference in my knowledge and skillset now compared to then is night and day. In my experience, the heavy majority of faculty don’t have a great idea of what CC is, how it works, or what it can do for them. Being a campus resource for CC has raised my profile at the university, which has done wonders for work building and running an OER program. As soon as I started helping faculty with individual reference consultations about CC, word started getting around. Now I’m getting faculty I’ve never met emailing me to ask for advice on a CC question, because they heard about me from a peer. Money well spent.” – Stephen Craig Finlay
