New Short Subject: Creative Commons Free & Legal Sharing

A new Short Subject, Creative Commons Free & Legal Sharing: Significant to TRIO Programs by Ms. Sharon Primm-Dayot, is now available under University of Washington Priority 3 Online Training.

This session focuses on a powerful new FREE tool that works within the boundaries of copyright law, but unlike copyright, it allows users the freedom to share, remix, reuse, and redistribute others’ work without permission. It’s called Creative Commons and it provides a tremendous opportunity for TRIO staff and students to become a part of global exploration, innovation, and productivity.

Completing this short subject will earn you 30 points toward the certification requirements.
