This webinar will highlight an overview of the Creative Commons (CC) Certificate courses in open licensing, and how to take advantage of the 15% discount on registration through the CC’s partnership with MHEC.
CC’s Jennryn Wetzler will share context about the CC Certificate program, what to expect when taking a course, and engagement opportunities with the alumni community spanning 66 countries. CC Certificate alumna, Cindy Kristof, will describe her experience in the CC Certificate for Academic Librarians course, tips for getting through the course content, and how getting CC Certified has helped her work in Open Education.
The CC Certificate is a training program and investment in open advocates, educators, and leaders around the world. CC built the program to strengthen people’s practical expertise in open licensing, copyright, and recommended practices in open knowledge and culture movements. The program runs 10-week online courses three times per year; while there are courses for Educators, Academic Librarians and Open Culture, everyone is welcome to join. Additionally, CC offers 1-week “bootcamps” for small groups, upon request. With CC-recognized open licensing expertise, graduates note they become the "point people" for open licensing at their institutions. Read what else graduates are saying.
