DOL TAACCCT Round 1 Data Analysis by Paul Stacey 20-Feb-2013
TAACCCT program is uniquely creating OER in vocational industry sectors like manufacturing, health, energy, transportation and IT.
What is the CC BY requirement in
the TAACCCT grant?
SGA Requirements
•
In order to further the goal of career training and education and encourage
innovation in the development of new learning materials, as a condition of the
receipt of a Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career
Training Grant (“Grant”), the Grantee will be required to license to the public
(not including the Federal Government) all work created with the support of the
grant (“Work”) under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License (“License”).
•
This license allows subsequent users to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt the
copyrighted work and requires such users to attribute the work in the manner
specified by the Grantee. Notice of the License shall be affixed to the Work.
SGA Requirements
•
Work that must be licensed under the CC BY includes both new content created with
the grant funds and modifications made to pre-existing, grantee-owned content using
grant funds.
•
Only work that is developed by the grantee with the grant funds is required to be
licensed under the CC BY license. Pre-existing copyrighted materials licensed to, or
purchased by the grantee from third parties, including modifications of such materials,
remain subject to the intellectual property rights the grantee receives under the terms
of the particular license or purchase. In addition, works created by the grantee without
grant funds do not fall under the CC BY license requirement.
•
The Department will ensure that deliverables developed with these funds are publicly
available.
Purpose
“to ensure that materials developed with funds provided by these
grants result in work that can be freely reused and improved by
others.”
How does CC BY and OER affect TAACCCT work?
1. Share development costs of learning resources among institutions
2. Quality improvements through collaboration, visibility, creativity, and
critical thinking
3. Save time and effort through the reusing and remixing of resources
4. Pedagogical innovations
5. Lower costs to students
6. Open accessibility of resources to previously excluded groups
7. New partnerships and market opportunities

CC licenses are unique because they
are expressed in three ways.
With the CC BY license, you retain your copyright,
while granting some uses of your work… and
others must give you credit / attribution.
CC BY grants the public permission to copy,
distribute, perform, display, and build upon your
work, as long as they give you credit for your work.
