CC Your Work


I selected the Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License.  With this license others are free to share and copy my work.  They are also allowed to make changes to my work.  If they do share or make changes to my work they must give me credit for the original work and it cannot be used for commercial purposes.  I chose this option because I do not mind if others use my work or even make changes to it.  I picked noncommercial because I am not comfortable with a large company or anyone else making a profit from my work. 


I would encourage students to use whatever license they felt most comfortable with.  I think a benefit of allowing students to pick their own is that it exposes them to the different types of licenses and makes them more aware of fair use when they are researching.
