Examples
• You’ve created a textbook using
various Creative Commons and OER

history of Stevedores, however, there
is not enough room to attribute all
your sources in the video.
15
Attributing in limited space
• Text resources: include a referencing
system and a credit page
• Videos: include a link to a credit page
• In the case of CC material, you can
hyperlink the logo to the specific
licence used rather than including the
whole link
• These attribution methods should
only be used as a last resort.
