I know most every institution must have creative or linked to a tutorial to help their educators understand the intent and practice of using Creative Commons. It could be a video, web site, presentation…

My friend and colleague @econproph asked this of me privately, and as I rarely know all the resources, I nearly always turn this around and ask more people. Sorry Jim, I am outing your question.

> Do you know of a decent CC-licensed little tutorial - along the lines of 15-60ish mins - that explains the basics of CC licensing and the different CC licenses?

I have to admit I find a lot of resources are very focused on the details of the different licenses, and shorter in the rationale, motivation, why (besides "so you don’t get sued).

For a short one, I sent this rather old video (is it dated) that is very approachable. But maybe it’s too brief and too 2011

This overview from [Copyrightlaws.com](http://Copyrightlaws.com) is maybe about the right length, though it’s all text

> **[Creative Commons Licenses: How to Choose the Best CC License](https://www.copyrightlaws.com/creative-commons-licenses-choose-best/)**

For something medium length, I recommended the part of the OERu LiDA103 course

[https://course.oeru.org/lida103/learning-pathways/creative-commons/overview/](https://course.oeru.org/lida103/learning-pathways/creative-commons/overview/)

And of course the big one (probably bigger than Jim’s need), the content for the Creative Commons Certificate

[https://certificates.creativecommons.org/cccertedu/](https://certificates.creativecommons.org/cccertedu/)

But I hardly know them all… does anyone want to toss more suggestions into Jim’s hands.

Hi Jim!
