This open crowdsourced collection presents a rich tapestry of our collective thinking in the first months of 2023 stitching together potential alternative uses and applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that could make a difference and create new learning, development, teaching and assessment opportunities. Experimentation is at the heart of learning, teaching and scholarship. Being open to diverse ideas will help us make novel connections that can lead to new discoveries and insights to make a positive contribution to our world.

The Creative Commons copyright licenses and tools forge a balance inside the traditional “all rights reserved” setting that copyright law creates. Our tools give everyone from individual creators to large companies and institutions a simple, standardized way to grant copyright permissions to their creative work. The combination of our tools and our users is a vast and growing digital commons, a pool of content that can be copied, distributed, edited, remixed, and built upon, all within the boundaries of copyright law.

What do we mean when we talk about making online courses “accessible”? Does accessibility mean the same thing as accommodation or Universal Design for Learning? While the concepts are interconnected and all work in support of creating inclusive learning environments for students in higher education, each also has its own characteristics and definition.

Adaptive Learning Technology
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

Adaptive learning has its origins in John Carroll’s
personalized learning concept which prioritized
allotting engaged learners the time to become
proficient in a task (1963). Today, the phrase
adaptive learning applies to three overlapping
areas involving technology and learning.
Adaptive learning technology refers to the
educational technology, courseware, and
learning systems that deliver instruction and
learning content. Personalized learning,
sometimes interchangeably called adaptive
learning, represents content, pacing, pedagogy,
and goals designed to meet students’ individual
learning needs (Office of Educational
Technology n.d.). Thus, adaptive learning
describes the combination of active,
personalized learning delivered through
adaptive learning technology (Brown et al.
2020; Kerr 2016).

Best practices for attribution
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

You can use CC-licensed materials as long as you follow the license conditions. One condition of all CC licenses is attribution: crediting the author and giving the source information. Generally speaking, attribution must reasonably include all relevant information supplied by the licensor. Because each use case is different, you can decide what form of attribution is most suitable for your specific situation. The following examples are intended to illustrate what typical prudent practices look like. We expect community norms and expectations to evolve with time, and will adapt this guide accordingly. In addition to attribution, there are also things to consider as a licensor or a licensee. If you are a licensor and would like to learn how to mark your own material with a CC license, here.
