Description: In this webinar from Creative Commons, learn more about how CC licenses are shaping the future, particularly in fields such as open science, open education, climate change, and open culture. This webinar assumes that participants will already have some familiarity with open access, Open Educational Resources (OER), and CC licensing, and will attempt to answer more advanced questions, such as: How does AI work, and what are its impacts on copyright and CC licensing? How is open access and OER affecting social justice work and improving equity? What other emerging technology trends--such as open data, linked data, or virtual/augmented reality--could have an impact on the open movement?
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session, attendees will be able to:
· Understand the role that CC licenses and the open movement are playing in emerging technology trends;
· Describe how emerging technology, such as AI, interacts with copyright and CC-licensing; and
· Understand how open access and OER affect social justice work and improve equity.
Who Should Attend: This webinar is geared towards any librarian that creates content for their patrons or colleagues, or that uses the work of others when creating content such as LibGuides, finding aids, blog posts, presentations, etc.
